For my current freestyle collage, I wanted to share my throwback version of an outing at the beach. The female depicted is a version of how women are portrayed in 60s era. I remember the red bandana bows that were often worn as part of the head attire.
A trip to the beach in a family setting was accomplished by modesty. The retro style was introduced abroad, but quickly gained ground in the U.S. with its polka-dot fabrics and bold colors. The style from dress to decor was often referred to as the counterculture.
If you'd like to join in the LMAC Community and participate in their weekly contests or create a freestyle design, just view the current @lmac contest posts.
Below are my steps in creating my freestyle design. I uploaded all images into Canva, my design program, to blend them. I leave with you my procedures which began with a blank, white canvas. I then added 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.

Below are the images I included in my collage. I included two LMAC original contest images. Other images from the #LIL and free-sourced ones combined to make a throwback beach scene.
