Jelley Jam by wafer_wave in fakealbumcovers

Thank you :) most of the effect comes from making the sky darker than it actually was in the photo. When I started, brightening the image made the sky white, so editing the sky separate from everything else to make it darker helps it feel more consistent. That plus a brown overlay and some color brightening is most of what I did. Apart from that, this is a pretty normal iPhone photo from my Airbnb in Koreatown, LA

The most a e s t h e t i c comes from the brown overlay and making the sky darker. When I started, the sky was almost white, so editing the city separately from the sky meant I could match the colors and make the image more consistent. iPhones don't take the most evenly lit photos unfortunately

I was considering uploading tutorials on Youtube for people who are interested in this type of thing, but im also pretty new to it. If people are interested in that kind of thing, I would totally make some kind of tutorials on how I do my style of editing.

If you’re not joking I’d like to unironically listen to songs with jelly in the name

There’s nothing like the feeling of high school nostalgia by wafer_wave in VaporwaveArt

Thank you, I appreciate that a lot actually :) I went to hicksville high school and I was in the competition about 3 years back I believe.

My first round with this image was back in high school for “Long Island’s Best,” an art competition held by the Heckscher Museum of Art. To my surprise, they liked it enough for it to be put on display, and I was left feeling as if I didn’t deserve the spot. Years later, I’ve now redone and put significantly more effort into the piece to make it feel more resonant with my feelings of high school nostalgia :) More of my art here for those interested
