Project 3: Skateboard 
I used the back of a skateboard to paste my images. Next I placed the lyrics of a song then with the shape tool I got the text to stand out. I was able to make one of the shapes a background layer with the fill set to three colors fading from one to the other. To add a bit more to the image I drew little sketches using the pencil tool. 
This one got pretty deep. A while ago I met this guy in junior year, at first we were math partners but after he helped fix my phone we officially became friends. We would talk for hours on the phone almost every day. But when we got to hang out in person he was really timid and I felt that it wouldn't work between us. I thought it was the end but fast forward two years later and here I am again. He changed a lot and was way less shy than before. We talked again and of course I said something that made him curious, causing me to confess I liked him and wanted to hang out again. The second time was a major upgrade and he asked to give him some time to think if he feels the same. Weeks passed and even before he answered I made this skateboard image. I didn't know what his answer would be and it really started to get to me. The beginning starts with him saying no, and after all the suspense and emotion I would end up firing like a loose cannon even if I truly still cared and understood. Then it would transition to me hanging out with some of my closest friends, helping me get through everything. The final image symbolizes one day where I no longer need to feel the pain. A few days after this was made I reached out to him, I didn't wanna hold back anymore, I didn't deserve to wait any longer...

"I consider myself a patient person, and what I confessed to you was a lot to take in. These pass few weeks I've been trying to keep calm, to give you time, but I'm tired of this waiting around. I don't blame you, but I'm no longer patient either. I want you to tell me the truth, and nothing but that."

"Audrey, I know you're impatient at this point, but I just don't know how to put the words together. To put it bluntly, I don't think I see you in a romantic way at all because I only really see you as a friend. But I wanted to try to put it in the nicest way possible because you're one of the sweetest people I've ever met, and I didn't want to break your heart."

(sigh) God bless this guy
