Cassette is a symbol of music before CD's were introduced. Cassette blues applies more for an Indie band. The color tones are more warm, not as bright. Also, the image of image of the cassette emphasizes the reminiscing of memories, depicting a feeling of nostalgia. Likewise, the image of the couple dancing creates a heartwarming feeling. My final image did not turn out how I had planned. I utilized some ideas or concepts from my previous sketches; I tend to not stick to my initial sketches. My sketches tend to help me more with thinking and forming ideas for the final artwork. In the artwork, I use a lot of blending and opacity. Also, I decided to use images that already carried the concept of lighting, such as the leaf, so the viewer can naturally focus on that area.
