Where I Come From Poster


I come from Levittown, PA, where I lived with my parents. Currently I live with my boyfriend in our own apartment in Elkins Park. The Google Maps show my childhood home and my home now. The railroad tracks symbolizes my reliance on the train to get me to school every day. The background image of the European map shows I come from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The background picture to the bottom right is a red flower, symbolizing my great relationship with my boyfriend and how much I value my friends and family.

You should Google Search your name sometime

When I Google searched my name, images of waterfalls and family crests were some of the results. My name, Lynn, means waterfall in Celtic. I found my last name, Roberts, written in a Celtic font. My family originated in Ireland, Scotland, and England, and I came upon my family crest.

In part two, I played with the opacity of the waterfall picture and the family crest. I made both pictures primarily in blue tone. I layered this two images and added the font I found on Google search of my last name. Then, I used the underpainting and colored pencil filters on the crest and waterfall images.
