The Work
My design inspired by In A Song by Hunter Hayes
The Inspiration
Today's design is inspired by Hunter Hayes's song "In A Song".
This song is featured in my playlist "These Songs Saved My Life" because
it genuinely saved me during a tough time. Listening to it gave me the
sense of hope to keep going despite the pain and emotions I was
feeling.
You sometimes wish you could change the past, but in reality, doing so
would only mess things up further. So, not being able to undo what's
done is actually a blessing, as it helps you move forward for good.
There are no second chances or do-overs; you must keep moving forward,
even if it means a different path than you had planned. It's oddly
reassuring, and it helped me through a tough spot. So, I decided to
design something centered around these special lyrics.
Well I'm sure if I had the chance to go back I'd change more than I should But knowing I can't is helping my chances Of moving on for good Now I'm not saying there won't be too many lonely nights But the songs that I choose getting over you Help me make it out alive
It's alright, this goodbye Won’t hurt me for too long I’ll be fine on my own It's gonna take some time But I know that I I can find where I belong And I’ll find it in a song
The Process
I originally had the idea of utilizing the arrows to represent the
timeline, but it would only confuse people, so I decided to go with a
strict composition instead.
This type of composition was new to me, but I enjoyed it.
After the first draft, the design felt empty, so I added
decorations, which transformed it into something I love. The final
version kinda reminded me of a vintage circus ticket or something. I am
pleased with how it turned out.
