Hello. I want to introduce myself. My name is Master of Minds. I hail from the Universe's University of All Knowledge. Let's be honest for a moment.
We're extended to the limit with tasks and commitments, both on and offline. Situations can become tense and sometimes unmanageable.
Personal, professional, and world stressors may seep into our consciousness and influence our ability to open our minds and explore infinite possibilities that exist in the realm of creative thinking. Intellectual abilities can become stifled.
We all need a sliver of help. It's as simple as that.
Creatives especially expend an enormous amount of energy conceptualizing, bringing them into focus, designing, and ultimately modifying and making adjustments to their masterpieces.
If you can relate and feel you're exhausted and require encouragement, motivation, and fresh ideas, then by all means book your appointment today.
Operators stand ready to guide you through our portal to the most important appointment of your creative life. Of course, flexible office hours are available to fit your universal busy schedule.
Call only if you're willing to venture into a place where rhyme, reason, and all former things are relinquished. Where your mind will rise to a higher level of understanding and unleash your true creative inner self.
Good luck and see you soon!
For my current mixed media art project, I envisioned designing a therapist's office. Not only is the doctor somewhat peculiar, but the decor is mesmerizing, in a spooky sense. I chose the color red as the background to symbolize strong desires. The couch fit perfectly with my theme. However, the wall decor symbolizes two possible outcomes from the therapy visit!
According to Color Psychology, Red is one of the most fascinating colors that uncover various meanings, symbols, and associations. It's usually associated with human beings' strong emotions, such as love, desire, and anger.
From descriptions of fiery red hair, blood sport, or red carpet chosen for social events, this color is regarded as a "head-turner", one that individuals can't ignore.
Different cultures have used the color Red as identification symbols. Also, Red is a primary color on the color scale. It represents passion, warmth, and sexuality, but it's also personifies danger, violence, and aggression, all powerful elements.
Below are my procedures:
I chose the images carefully to fulfill my vision of a deranged doctor intent on helping creative individuals. The decor followed.

Male doll ~ Couch with red roses ~ Masked skull ~ Black and gold butterfly ~ Red circle ~ Background red and black image
I then utilized Canva to blend the different type images. I leave with you my procedures which began with adding layers of elements in accordance with my upgraded Annual Pro Membership that includes tools to remove backgrounds, resize, filter, duplicate, and reposition items as required.
Perhaps of all the tools, the ability to remove backgrounds attached to pre-made images whereby creating transparencies is crucial to the blending process.
- To a blank, white canvas I added the red couch as a background; then resized it to fit the entire screen;
- Added the male alien image; reposition to appear as though rising from the couch;
- Added the red circle image behind the alien's head; adjusted the transparency so that the couch's back was visible; and
- Added two images (skull and butterfly) for decor to be used as wall photos; and
- Finally, added the doctor's office sign.
ANIMATION
Remaining in Canva, I chose the background flower image as the animated element in the project. I encased the image in a free Circle Frame Template. Using the Animation tool; I selected the Pulse style; and reduced the pulsing frequency to low. That way, the result would be a slow pulsating motion.
Lastly, I resized and positioned the flower in the center of the alien's face. I was thoroughly pleased with how the project turned out.
I share with you my completed animated theme:
Thanks for taking the time to view my post. I hope you like my mixed media art project.
