Blog Post #21: Serenity

A phone surrounded by nature with music playing on it.

I tried in this image to represent what serenity meant to me. The most serene and calm moments for me is when I am in nature, listening to music. I often will go on hikes or long walks with just music playing and allow my mind to wander. I tried to show this by surrounding the phone with a very simple but busy background while highlighting the play button of the music. To make this more highlighted, in Photoshop, I chose to use the brush tool to brighten the white pause button and darken the outer areas and the strong highlights like the reflection of light on the screen.
