The Brief
Less Traveled By was a class assignment exploring composite illustration and layered imagery. The piece frames multiple landscapes — mountain peaks, a twilight town, and a green field — within a single stone archway, as if the viewer is looking through a portal onto several worlds at once. Distressed stencil text reading 'Less Traveled By' anchors the composition, evoking the idea of choosing the unconventional path. The archway serves as both a literal frame and a metaphorical threshold between destinations.
Process
- 01Selected and composited multiple landscape photographs into a single archway frame.
- 02Applied distressed stencil typography to anchor the piece thematically.
- 03Balanced the color treatment across all landscapes so the composite reads as one cohesive scene.
