Admirer of Lighthouse Red and Other Fascinating Things

My current freestyle collage theme entails the concept of wonders to observe. Individuals whose love of exploration takes them to exotic and unimaginable places are to be admired and celebrated. Their adventurous nature is the reason society gains an understanding of the world around them. This is especially true of those whose profession is exploration, then documentation of their discoveries. When one explores, an unknown world reveals itself.

My style of collage is a Freestyle. Although I wasn't required to utilize any contest photo in my design, often I do include one. However, if you'd like to join in visit: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 250 - ✨38 HIVE in the Prize Pool!.

In preparing my design, wanted to incorporate several LMAC members' image contributions to create a world of discovery for a young adult. The lighthouse is central to the theme as it stood majestic across the river, a beacon of red, flashing light for all passersby.

LMAC members have contributed awesome images Hive members can include in their projects. Just remember to follow the rules of use. I also include one of my pure fractals and other free-sourced images.

Below are the images I included to complete my theme:

I utilized Canva to blend the different type images. Below are my steps in which I began with a blank, white canvas, then added layers of elements, removing backgrounds, resizing, duplicating, colorizing, and repositioning items as needed incorporating the tools at my disposal in my Annual Pro Membership Subscription.

Below is my completed collage design:
