Hello LMAC and Hive members. I wanted to share with you my current collage. My theme entails an alien shopping for a vehicle off planet.
My style of collage is a Freestyle. Although I usually do, I wasn't required to utilize any contest photo in my design. However, if you'd like to join in the current contest, visit: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 242 - ✨92 HIVE in the Prize Pool!.
It was too good to be true. A deal out of this world!" the broadcaster announced over the transmission. And the nearest planet for availability was Earth.
Noz couldn't resist. Excited, he hopped in his craft, located the coordinates, and sped off across the universe. His craft came to a screeching halt, then hovered over the atmosphere as monitors tracked the location of the dealership mentioned in the advertisement.
Lowering himself down, he paused. Do I need a salesman to broker this deal? He reached into his pocket and smiled. Absolutely not, he assured himself.
Surveying the lot, he momentarily faltered and became disheartened. Did the advertisement steer him wrong? he thought. Minty green hue the fine print stated. But not a single vehicle matching that description sat on the lot.
"I can't disappoint my son. A graduation gift," he murmured, his brows scrunched together, as he surveyed hundreds of vehicles.
Several moments later, he remember his wife's caution. Don't bother with fad colors. Stick to his favorite: azure.
Immediately, he spotted the sleek car brand mentioned in the ad.
It didn't take him long to attach the cable to the roof. He signaled for his craft. "Beam me up!".
His son, Lucius won't be disappointed for his graduation, he thought as the craft jumped into hyper-drive and disappeared into the night's sky.
I had fun with this design them. An alien shopping for a vehicle on Earth. The red convertible made an excellent vehicle to admire and shop for. All I needed was a universe background and spacecraft to bring the alien to Earth. Below are the images I included to complete my theme:

I then utilized Canva to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I began with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, detaching elements from their backgrounds, duplicating, colorizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.
