cool - love your type choices - especially for the Stand-up Comedy Night - cool font to use in that situation

I really like your pictures, Courtney. Can you walk me through your thought process while choosing?

Hello Owen, Thank you very much! For the "Image Overlay Practice" the process was pretty easy I just used the keywords that are in the Headlines as searching options. From there I was thinking about which image depicted the best emotion. For the "Mindful breathing &amp;Meditation" I thought, meditation is usually done Isolated and nurturing so I sought out an image with someone in a natural setting. For "...Iceland" I truly just looked up Iceland, but  was also considering "adventure" so the person surrounded by HUGE cliff faces at night seemed to fit. I found that the hardest one was "...meetings effortlessly". I looked at many photos with people laughing or talking in a meeting room but they all seemed to busy. So I thought about it again. "Effortlessly", I consider was a simple, easy to do thing. So I looked for office images. And the one I picked gives the feeling that it is so "effortless" that the person is done already. Computer shut, glasses down. For the images I was looking on Unsplashed as Vako suggests. :) Thanks for asking, it was probably good for me to have to explain myself. Are you going to post a portfolio?! I would like to see what you come up with !!

Thanks for the nice explanation. As I was reading, the insight came when you talked about how the last exercise was the hardest. I saw how you pulled through by focusing your attention to the one word that owns the meaning of the whole heading "effortlesly". It's so simple once you realize what to look for. Super challenging if we can't narrow it down to that essence. Your detailed description has showed me where I was going wrong. I Super appreciate. I am definetly going to post a portfolio. That's the best way I think I'll show my gratitude to Vako.  And most definetly can't wait to see what you come up with as well!! But no pressure :)
