#express yourself
The post that no one asked for: the many alternate cover photos I made for “Express Yourself” before finally selecting the hand-holding. Please enjoy these either as an insight into my artistic process or as self-made fanart for the story itself! More under the cut (you’re welcome).
^I played around with adding a quote but decided I liked the minimalism of the photo alone.
^This was probably my second choice
^now we get into some more collage-oriented covers. One thing I discovered during this process was how much I liked ones that resembled an actual book cover.
^one of my earlier attempts; you may recognize these photos from the Express Yourself “poster” I put up a while ago. I wanted to try the “collage” approach without it being quite so busy with so many photos.
^another top contender because it is one of my favorite screengrabs I took for this project…the moment just fits so perfect with the scene where Blaine sings to Kurt to ask him to be his boyfriend
It’s Your Life
actually I have more bullshit about stories tonight. I saw someone in twitter who’d posted a photo of their really beautiful ofmd tattoo with the caption “I know it’s cringe when people get tattoos of shows haha but” and that made me sad because it’s not. To take a story that has affected you and place that on your body is like. that’s a holy act to me. and maybe that sounds like nonsense but being weird about stories is what I do here and I am not going to stop
