Material: Photoshop 2021 Processes: Cropped to photos of Giannis Antetakounpo (I spelled that wrong) to contrast the emotions and brought in a court at the bottom but faded it out with eraser and a gradient. I then put a peaceful picture of a stadium in the cool letters and a full picture of the stadium in the warm letters. Ideas: The lettering includes a warm green and a cool green the contrast the warm emotions of passion and anger versus the cool emotions of being calm and composed. I also wrote in "The choice is yours" to make the piece feel more lie a poster and give the viewer a hypothetical option.

You have to prepare yourself as well as you can.”  – KOBE BRYANT AS QUOTED IN “THE MINDFUL ATHLETE”
