("Too Young" by Joseph Birdsong)
♫ What is this feeling
♫ Give me something to believe in
♫ 'Cause all I got is just
a pocketful of dreaming
♫ Now my hopes are higher
than the tallest ceiling
♫ Don't try to bring me down
♫ 'Cause I am never leaving
♫ But do we understand
♫ As we're flying hand in hand
♫ That everything must land
♫ With the weight of gravity
♫ And when you look at me
♫ I'm just a pebble in the sea
♫ Another apple on the tree
♫ Just a simple melody
♫ We're too young
♫ Says the voice in my head
♫ As I see your silhouette
♫ Slide along the wall
to the foot of the bed
♫ Like we're playing with a loaded gun
♫ With the safety off
♫ Nothing said and nothing undone
♫ But not true
♫ The things I say to you
♫ And yeah, we had fun
♫ But in the morning I'll be gone
♫ We're too young ♫
- Hey guys. Thank you so much
for checking out my time
lapse wall collage video.
I didn't really know what I was doing
going into it.
I just had all this stuff laid out,
and I just kinda started
putting it up on my wall.
But I think it came out pretty well.
So let me walk you through
some of the stuff I made,
and some of the different
techniques I used.
So something that I thought
came out really well
was the map flag thing up at the top.
I had the idea and I wasn't sure
if it was gonna come out
how it did in my head,
but I think it came out
even better than I thought.
And I only made it like three hours ago.
So basically I just made
this pattern with a triangle
and then a little border on the outside.
I traced it onto a map,
and then I just cut it out,
and folded down the edges, and taped them.
And then I just taped it to string
so it could actually be on a wall.
And that was it.
It was really easy.
It probably took me like an hour.
And you don't even have to use maps.
You could use comic books,
or really any kind of paper or texture
that you can think of.
Also, about half way through the video
you probably saw me replace this poster
with the one that's there now,
the type face combinations
poster from Font Chat.
I really loved this poster.
It's from Pop Chart Lab.
I'll link them below.
Everything they do is amazing,
but I just thought that the colors
were a bit much for this composition
that I was making.
So even though this poster
was in my original idea
for the design, it just
evolved as I was making it.
So I had to sacrifice
this beautiful poster.
So another thing I did was hang up posters
and different random stuff
with these silver clips.
They're really pretty.
I got them from Staples for
like $4 for eight of them.
And the benefit to using clips like this
is number one, they
just add a nice texture
to the whole composition.
Number two, they lift the poster
out from the wall a little bit,
so you get a nice shadow
and a bit of dimension
behind the poster.
And they're just a bit more interesting
than always using thumb tacks.
Speaking of which,
don't you love these bright
lime green thumb tacks?
I got them from Staples also
and I just think they
really add to the design.
So I wasn't sure if this next
thing was going to work out,
but I really love how it came out.
I'm talking about the
string and the ribbon,
basically how it like crisscrosses
over the whole design.
It reminds me of remember in "Heroes"
when they were connecting all the people,
and I think it was Sylar had the people
that he was gonna kill,
and then there were all the
strings connecting them.
Well hopefully this doesn't
seem too TV villainy,
but I just love the extra dimension
and visual interests that it
brings to the composition.
Similarly, for extra design elements
I also used colored artists tape,
which you can get at really any art store.
I think I got this at Utrecht.
And I also used this paper washi tape.
You can go on Etsy.
People sell them for really cheap
in every design you can possibly imagine.
And they're not too sticky,
so there shouldn't be any problem
getting them off the wall
if you have to move out
of a dorm or anything.
But they're really fun.
You can use them as borders
or to actually tape stuff to your wall.
I'm still finding new uses for them.
I just really love them.
So thank you so much for watching.
The music you heard at the beginning
was by my friend Joseph
Birdsong, disneykid1.
I love his music so much.
I'll have links below
where you can buy his song
if you liked it too.
If you want to see my previous video
where I go to a recycled
craft supply store
and buy a million things for so cheap,
you can check that out right here.
And if you wanna see a video
that I made a little while ago
where I decorated my old apartment,
you can check that one out right here.
OK, thanks for watching.
I will see you all next week.
