This is a cover image that I made for a drug awareness music video. The song is called "Don't Believe the Lie." It's about a boy who struggles with drug and alcohol addictions, and as he overcomes his trials, he learns that the "happiness" offered by such a lifestyle is all a lie.
I made the image in 3D and enhanced it with Photoshop. Both the Mustang and the guitar are important "characters" in the music video. They make frequent appearances. The boy speeds down the road in the bright red Mustang, which signifies recklessness and materialism throughout the video. The guitar, in contrast, symbolizes freedom.
I picked this fiery color scheme because it portrays destruction, which I believe is fitting for a music video about the destruction that can be caused by giving over one's freedom to harmful addictions.
I tried to effectively use Perspective when creating this image. The guitar fret to leads to a "vanishing point" in the center. I wanted the guitar fret to look like an endless road that goes toward the viewer and past the bounds of the picture.
The text is placed in the left center portion of the frame in order to balance out the empty space and provide contrast with the Mustang.

I really like the colors you used in your design, it makes the image engaging! I also really like the idea of using the guitar as the road. The whole picture is a really neat concept.
