Midterm Project

This is the image I decided to make and share how I completed it through my tutorial. I chose LeBron James to be the focal point of my image and his recent transition to Los Angeles as my inspiration. I have always looked up to LeBron James since I was a little kid and I can relate to his change to a city and fan base he isn’t familiar with by my change from a small school with a graduating class of 150 to the very different atmosphere of Ohio State. I also wanted to emphasize in my image that I created that even though LeBron’s atmosphere is a lot different, he is still himself, The King. I also strive to be myself even though my surroundings have changed a lot since moving to Ohio State. I think staying true to oneself is very important and I think everyone should do this. I also wanted to pay tribute to LeBron in my image, as well as reflect myself through it, so I took what we learned in the very beginning of the class and included the image of the Milky Way galaxy. I included this because I wanted to show LeBron is not only the king, but the king of the whole basketball galaxy which he will show in the upcoming Space Jam movie he stars in. That is the reasoning and inspiration for the image I created.
