Cassel Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Once a week, there is a radio show that has been on for many years. It is called Vinyl Tap. It is 2 hours of songs that are picked around a particular theme. Sometimes, it has to do with a word, sometimes, a topic, sometimes it is another particularity (like "unlikely duets"). With the fall months coming, use a title or lyrics of a song that has a SUN or SUNSHINE in the title. Examples of songs include "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles and "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. Are you up to the challenge? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrie Kinkel Posted Sunday at 10:26 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:26 PM I have a nice photo of a sunset over a lake and found a song that goes with it with the word Sun in the title and the lyrics. We had another rainy Sunday, so no problem to spend some time at the pc. Because I wanted to concentrate on the sunset in the photo I used a rectangular mask (by Jessica Dunn). I used 3 different papers with blendmodes until I got something that I liked and that somewhat matched the colors in my photo. I used a journalcard but changed the top deco and in honor of todays masterclass made a rope frame. The drawing of the boat comes from Jessica Dunn as well. Fonts are Alustia for the title and Bremlin for the text of the lyrics. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Seeber Posted Monday at 07:56 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:56 PM The title font is Bauhaus, the art is all from a search by Google Images for the title "I Can See Clearly Now" by Johnny Nash - 1972. The sheet music was treated to the cass-curved image script. This song has a calypso feel to the back beat that has always made me smile. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Magerka Posted Tuesday at 04:37 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:37 PM I really enjoy these song challenges. So many to choose from that inspire different ideas for the layout. Then I don't have to worry about a shortage of my own pix. The pic of Bob Marley is from online, maybe Pixabay. I made the reggae colours with a small canvas with three colours, blurred the results, and and then masked it for a messy background splash. Then added text on a torn piece of paper. Film mask from Katie Pertiet. Font at bottom is 1942 Report. Some background elements thrown in too. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use Copilot in Bing? You must have given a very good prompt to get this result. I'll think I have to give it a try...... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Ewart Posted Wednesday at 12:59 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:59 AM (edited) Song Challenge July 2024 Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden. Fonts are arial(s). I used a texture(woven basket) on the desaturated green photo mat and around the whole layout (with an inner bevel). A gradient on the background and then sunburst effect (whew, that was a hard one to figure out) which added a brighter "sun spot" and some rays a bokeh or two, and also desaturated. The rays might not show up in the small image. I'll post on FB later. This is not a great shot. It was not long after we moved here and it was downpouring with rain and sunny at the same time. It's always bizarre to see that. That is my neighbours house, I was shooting out a window. Oh, and I wanted all the shadows to mimic the gradient sun and the sun in the photo, that was a real headscratcher for me. So please let me know where I might've gone wrong with the shadows on the frames, text etc. Edited Wednesday at 01:01 AM by Susan Ewart 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted Wednesday at 02:03 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:03 AM (edited) This took me hours to do (with lots of breaks and blank stares). I tried a bunch of things including masks, but I just didn't have it in me. Being sick has given me brain fog in addition to exhaustion, and the oppressive heat isn't helping. The little girl and the sunflower are from CF. The fonts are akaDylan Plain and Alegreya SC Black. It's weird how the orange rectangles look uneven when sized down to 600. Neil Diamond wrote the song, Sunflower. Glen Campbell released it in 1977, but Neil didn't release it until 2018.

Mary Solaas Posted Wednesday at 02:08 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:08 AM @Anja Pelzer Wow! I played around with that Bing Copilot. I started with your take and ended up with just typing boy and girl walking in a meadow beside a bubbling stream with mountains in he distance. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Seeber Posted Wednesday at 10:09 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:09 AM I tried out Copilot/Dal-E for my song: "I can see clearly now..." by Johnny Nash. I did one in the manner of Van Gogh and another in Impasto style. This is lots of fun but be careful of eyeballs and text. They can get weird! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
