Okay, so yesterday I was messing around and decided to see if I could whip up something cool related to LeBron James and Drake. They’re both huge icons, so I figured, why not combine them in some way?
First, I spent some time just brainstorming. What could I even do with these two? Make a playlist of songs Drake mentions LeBron in? Nah, too simple. A video compilation of their interactions? Maybe, but I’m not great at video editing.
I finally settled on trying to make a sort of “mashup” image. The idea was to blend a picture of LeBron playing basketball with a picture of Drake, maybe performing or something. Sounded kinda neat in my head.
Gathering the ingredients:
- Finding Pictures:I started with images of LeBron. Needed him in action and full of energy.
- Drake’s Turn:Then I looked for shots of Drake, ideally something that would complement the LeBron photo.
- Picture tool:I grab a free online photo combine tool.
The hardest part was actually just doing it. I opened up my trusty old image tool, and started experimenting. I put the two pictures on top of each other, and I resized the pictures to make them fit each other.
Honestly, it took a few tries. The first couple of attempts looked terrible. The lighting was off, the poses didn’t mesh well…it was a mess. I played around with cropping, rotating, and changing the transparency of each image to try and get them to blend naturally.
After a good hour of fiddling around, I finally got something I was kind of happy with. It wasn’t perfect, but it definitely captured the vibe I was going for. It was LeBron, mid-dunk, with Drake’s face sort of faded into the background, almost like a ghostly image. Cheesy? Maybe. But hey, I made it!
It just goes to show, sometimes the most random ideas can turn into something pretty cool if you just stick with it. Even if it’s just messing around with pictures of famous people.
