FMP - Pamundur History

In today's session I created both a new photograph hang up in my exhibition and a historical poster, telling people about the history of the Pamundur Empire. The photo was created around an illustration I did of their god Amalurra meditating in a way similar to the painted depictions of the Hindu gods. I decided to create a piece that was different from the other historical artifacts and go a sort of recent photo of a damaged shrine dedicated to Amalurra. The hardest part of composing this image was surprisingly thinking up the idea on how to do it. I knew I could do whatever I wanted with it but it was deciding exactly what to do wit was the hardest part of composing this image. I first found a cracked wall texture from the site lost and taken to form a wall for my goddess to be depicted on. Then I displayed the illustration on the wall and roughed it up a bit so it looked decayed and weathered. then finally I added the florr and some candles and flowers as "offerings" to complete the image. To finalise messed with the hue and contrast and added another texture to come up with final aged image.

 The other thing that created this lesson was a board describing the fictional events of the Pamundur Empire. This includes the details from the start and the downfall of the empire but leaves enough of the history ambiguous for the observers to make assumptions about the other images displayed and catch any references to events told in the text within the images. So far I think I need to change the layout as I think at the moment wit looks a bit too unprofessional to be on display in a real museum, so I might have to tweak with the layout a bit to get a more satisfactory image out of it. There are some features about it that I like, for example the curved border around the bottom-left looks visually interesting, and the idea of displaying an image from the empire in the background is an interesting design decision. However, I definitely want to organize that text a bit since it looks bit messy just being stuck in the centre of the image. Overall, the poster needs a little bit more development.
