The word my bag is based off of is aberration. Which means a peculiar change in apparent positions of celestial bodies due to the affect of light and motion. I started creating the bag with a mirror hidden on the side of the bag, seen in the second photo. Light is coming out of the mirror and intersect to eventually return to said mirror and repeat this cycle. This shows both light waves and motion which when combined can confuse the mind into thinking is has seen something. In this instance the something is a ghost of a girl. Her body is layered in the center of the page and a face is pasted above it to complete a human like figure. The image is blurry and opac to give it a whimsical feeling. On the bottom most layer of the bag, a shadow of smoke is set. A darker shade of smoke is placed directly beneath the figure and more smoke is added to the back of the bag. These were created using the pen tool and wrinkled and twirled to achieve the desired effect. Within all of the layers of smoke are copies of the face seen on the front. Their opacities are changed to be just visible but leave a sense of mystery or questioning. A gradient was added diagonally to spotlight the female figure. It contrasts he light lines going horizontal and lightly diagonal which draws attention to the middle where they intersect. There are two spotlights, one being a gradient and one being a pen drawn spotlight that is pure white overlaying the gradient. The emphasis point is the female figure and the eye follows the lightwaves across the page. The girl has two different levels of opacity, one being soft light and one being exclusion. Their lines use a blur and wrinkle effect to create a ghostly effect. The entire color scheme is grayscale which gives the bag a feeling of darkness. Uniquely, this bag's photographs of the girls were my own photographs manipulated to fit the theme.
