Researching Earth's History | LET'S MAKE A COLLAGE: ROUND #96

What do we know of intelligent life on other planets? The presumptions given us about possible alien existence have been through science fiction. How do they look? What advanced societies did they belong to? Do they know about Earth as part of the universe?

Those questions I've asked myself over the years. I don't pretend to know the answers. I have wondered if aliens exist, have they visited Earth in the past. What did they determine about humans and how they evolved?

Hello everyone and welcome back my participation in this week's Let's Make a Collage ("LMAC"). Before I begin the steps to creating my collage, I wanted to remind you that the LMAC Image Library (LIL) is now online at: https://www.lmac.gallery/. Contributing to the library is ongoing. If you utilize an image from your fellow LMAC members, don't forget to add them as a 2% beneficiary to your post. You'll be supported in return.

To create the setting, I started with the photograph provided by @shaka in his contest post: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 96 - ✨214 HIVE in the Prize Pool!

I located a background that depicts the universe to accompany my off-world theme.

To create the collage, I uploaded both the contest photo and my digital image into Canva. Utilizing Canva with my Annual Pro Membership Subscription allows me access to all premium templates, images, and features on the site. This is especially helpful in removing backgrounds, adding filters to images, and resizing if necessary.

I decided to insert the image of the landscape inside the galaxy view.

Next, I wanted to include an alien that wasn't your typical portrayal of green looking. The alien would be perched on top of another planet in an attempt to study the history of Earth. The following images were added to accomplish my theme:

• Alien female from PxFuel

• Microscope from PxFuel

• Waterfall by @renata96 at LIL

• Iguana by @evagavilan2 at LIL

• Dinosaur1 by PNGStock at PurePNG

• Northern lights by the author @justclickindiva

• Dinosaur2 by PNGStock at PurePNG

• Pteradactyl by Clker-Free-Vector-Images at Pixabay

Below is the final result.

I appreciate your visit and hope you like my collage.
