#27 - multifandom icons (9)
Here's my set for the " World of Music pt2" challenge at somein30.
At this point, If I'm not incredibly late, it's not on brand LOL
Long story short: I really liked the music challenge, as I love music. I wanted to make a lot more icons, but didn't have time.
I chose normal mode and used images from the music videos coupled with the lyrics of the songs. Of course I was also inspired by the mood, atmosphere and my personal impressions of the song itself.
[the long story / ramblings]I was so excited when I saw that there were going to be not just one but two challenges with a musical theme. I love music. I really wanted to participate in both of them so badly (especially the first one), but unfortunately due to some trips and my usual lack of time, I just materially couldn't. I was very disappointed. So, when I was back and I found a month extension on the last challenge, I had to at least try and make something, even if I didn't have a lot of free time.
I wanted to make a lot more, but alas.
Also, I would've liked to take full advantage of the challenge and portray the songs in different ways, maybe with characters, symbolism, mood etc. (like suggested in the post), but realistically, knowing me and my damn indecision, I would've wasted more time on trying to chose the songs and how to interpret them each time than on making the actual icons, ending up frustrated and with no icons at all. And I really wanted to participate.
So I chose normal mode and used images from the music videos coupled with the lyrics of the songs. Of course I was also inspired by the mood, atmosphere and my personal impressions of the song itself, but the common starting point was music video and lyrics. I hope that's okay too, even if it's simpler and more obvious.
Now, as for the songs choice. I tend to listen to a variety of very different genres. Not every single one of them, but a lot. So, as to not be overwhelmed also by the choosing of the song, and to avoid making a set too all over the place, I decided to start with a few Nothing But Thieves songs (since I recently went to their concert ♥︎ ), and then add a few more songs I like from similar genres depending on how much time I still had. Avoiding jumping to Taylor Swift, for example lol.
Anyway, here they are.
