Mid Term: Historical Montage

For the midterm, I decided to do my historical montage on the moon landing of Apollo 11 in July 1969. More specifically, I decided to focus on the now-immortalized quote by Neil Armstrong. This image consist if several layers, but just 5 images. The base for the entire picture is that of the astronaut standing on the moon, which I scanned from the December 1969 edition of National Geographic. The figure in the foreground is, obviously, Neil Armstrong, whose image I got from the marvelous Wikimedia Commons. The Earth in the background was not in the original image, and I added that in after a quick Google search. The actual source of the image is from Western Washington University's website. The record behind the quote is a picture I took of an actual record we had in the house, called "Sounds of the Space Age." Finally, the quote itself was typed by me, uttered by Neil Armstrong, and the Halo font is entirely thanks to 1001 Fonts.
