I used the tool pixlr because I wanted to layer an image onto the background or the main image and I also wanted to add more feeling to the picture, too. I used the element contrast by the buildings and the letters. I aligned the photo by doing the thirds rule going left and right. My title would be the first third, my lightning in the center of the thirds, and the building at the very end of the thirds. I used repetition by using the birds on the picture 6 times and by blurring the whole picture to get this blurred effect. I used proximity by having the birds closer to the building. I created the image by blurring the whole image with a sponge tool, so I could get this type of color effect. I just kept on using this sponge tool and the brush was on 50. I layered the image by putting birds on the picture, so it would add more feeling to the picture. I chose this background color (blue) because it gives the picture more of a dark and gloomy feeling. "The Lightning's Colors" means that the colors of the lightning can be dangerous and at the same time can be cool to look at. In this picture, the lightning has a sort of purplish-bluish color which gives it a cool effect to look at. The font style and color effect the genre because it matches well. The color is teal which matches the blue underneath the text. The font style gives the picture more contrast with the buildings on the bottom of the picture. I think my the style of the font is probably aerial.
