Carly Lyon Telecom Midterm Project The goal of the pictures was to create an optimistic aesthetic. Sweet Disposition, by the Temper Trap, is a song that makes me think about the great things in life. It’s an inspirational song that gives me a drive to chase after my dreams. I tried to portray optimism through the use of bright, saturated colors and blurred edges. The majority of the pictures consists red, orange and yellow, the warm colors, which are the happiest. People who look at brighter colors normally experience positive emotions. The blurred edges represent the dreams that people are encouraged to go after. The costume was a low‐key outfit to show that anyone can achieve their dream. Money or class does not matter. The natural landscape is supposed to be inspirational and portray the limitless opportunities in life. A dog was in one of the images as an example of something that can be inspiring; showing that inspirations come in all different forms. The model at the piano, playing the guitar, or holding a camera was ideas of dreams that some people may have. Overall, get inspired and chase after your dream! The challenge I had was capturing the images. I knew what I wanted but the pictures I took were not exactly like what I had in mind. After increasing the saturation and including other settle effects, I think that gave the images more potential. Taking pictures was a lot of fun. My favorite one is probably the girl playing the guitar or the one when she’s at the piano, with her dog by her side.

I chose to use optimism as an aesthetic.

Song Lyrics: Sweet Disposition

Sweet disposition

Never too soon

Oh, reckless abandon

Like no one's watching you

A moment, a love

A dream aloud

A kiss, a cry

Our rights, our wrongs

A moment, a love

A dream aloud

A moment, a love

A dream aloud
