Frank Ocean Collageby ~GrenadeWhistle

Designs & Interfaces / Web Interfaces

This is a preview of a freebie profile I made. I'll code it soon....one day.

Frank Ocean is one of my favorite artists of all time. He's just a really talented singer and song-writer. The first song I ever heard from him was "Static" from the L.B collection (which I love so much). All his songs are so amazing and well-written whether he wrote it for himself or another person. There isn't one song that I dislike from him (which is well over 50 songs); there is usually a handful of songs I don't like from other artists. However, he is an exception (probably the only one). I was going to base this collage off of one song, but I couldn't think of one solid song to use because I don't have a favorite song....I love all his songs. lol I wouldn't mind doing another collage of him, I'm just waiting for another set of photos of him to come out. Most of the collage was based off his album Channel Orange: the censor bars, some of the vector art and the large amount of orange used. I also used blue because water (oceans) are blue.

Why I used the censor bars: Well...it's kind of hard for me to explain, but I'll try to keep it short and simple-ish. Before Channel Orange dropped, we thought we knew a lot about him through the media (twitter, interviews, tumblr and so on), but that was not the case; his tumblr post. It caused a lot of shock because no one would have guessed it. It showed that he still has a mysterious side of him that we still have yet to uncover. Hopefully we'll learn more about him and possibly more of his past in these upcoming years, but it's up to him to tell us. I'm not saying that him coming out should be condemned, but admired and praised. He'll just remain a mysterious being to me is all. "More Than Meets The Eyes" could perfectly fit him too, haha.

--------------------

The songs from the collage are:

Bad Religion | Forrest Gump | If I'm In Love | Lost | Nature Feels |
Non-Stop | Orion | Pyramids | Read the Stars | Rocket Love |
Swim Good | The City | Thinkin' 'Bout You | We All Try

Quality sucks because of that little gif. Please don't use this if you're planning on keeping it for alterations or personal use.
