Photomontage in Illustrator

I took the photomontage from the prior project with the character "Spike" in a crowd of people. I put this montage into Adobe Illustrator. Here I added a few more layers and included clouds I made using the path tool. I then created another layer, added text that read the definition of alone. I changed the font to Minion Variable Concept. I then adjusted the tracking for the word "alone". Finally I added another layer, included a rectangle I made using the rectangle tool. I put this rectangle layer behind the text but above the background, added a 1 point stroke, and set the oppacity down to 84% on the rectangle. I wanted to further portray a feeling of being alone and isolation even more.
