The Dreamcatchers

My band is titled The Dreamcatchers. I originally wanted to go with the roadtrippers idea that I had, but could not find images that I liked enough to use for it, so I decided to go with this one. I used images from pixabay.com, like Meghan did. I used six images from there - the starry background, the feather, the moon, the sleeping girl, the dream catcher, and the text bubble. I think that my design is effective because it properly represents the title of the band. I did have some trouble with erasing the backgrounds on the images, particularly the feather and the girl as they are both oddly shaped. The idea for these images came to me while I was actually trying to fall asleep last night. I suffer from insomnia, and last night was particularly rough so I was thinking about how I could make this image come to life if it were to be the one I chose - which it ended up being chosen. I knew I wanted there to be a dream catcher, for obvious reasons, on a starry background. I also wanted there to be a person sleeping somewhere. The moon was added in as I was working on it trying to figure out what else I could add. I wanted the text bubble to represent how one would see a dream, if that makes sense. The feather was actually my best friends idea. I knew I wanted to place something under the words but couldn't figure out what. He suggested a feather to represent the feathers on a dream catcher, and it ended up working out perfectly!
