Experiments

Adele Rolf

ProcessI decided to use Easter images because it’s a holiday related to Christmas. I have edited these photos using Photoshop and within Photoshop I have used different effects to change the original photos I selected in order to make the images look more like the products I wish to produce.

The first image I have edited I have used a colour fade to take the brightness away the image so that the image would be more subtle to the eye.

the second image I have edited I have I colour enhancer to add more colour to the image so that the image will stand out and be more eye catching.

The final image I have edited I have used the colour fade slightly and a blur effect so that the audience would pay the most attention to the eggs. The similarities my images will have to this photo will be that will use a similar angle taking shots and also will use the focus lens in order to make the thing I want to stand out.

ProcessI decided to use Halloween images because it’s another popular holiday celebrated. I have edited these photos using Photoshop and within Photoshop I have used different effects to change the original photos I selected in order to make the images look more like the products I wish to produce.

The first photo I have edited I have used a slight posterize effect making the image more vivid and the brighter colours stand out more.

The second image I have edited I have used a brightness and contrast tool to take some of the brightness away but to add a little more contrast between the lighter and darker colours.

The third image I have edited I have chosen from the 1978 horror film Halloween. I decided to chose this image from the film because I like the angle and the lighting of the shot. When editing this photo I used brightness and contrast in order to make the white mask stand out and making the body appear darker.

ProcessI have decided to use the 4th of July because it’s a holiday celebrated all around America. I have edited these photos using Photoshop and within Photoshop I have used different effects to change the original photos I selected in order to make the images look more like the products I wish to produce for my Christmas portfolio.

The first image I have edited I have used the brightness and contrast tool in order to make the fireworks and the statue of liberty stand out more against the night sky. I chose this photo because of the angle of the photograph. The photo is zoomed in on the statue of liberty with fire works behind with the colour red, white and blue to represent the flag of America.

The second image I have edited I have used the brightness and contrast tool in order to make the American flag stand out and to make the sky slightly deeper. I have also used the posterize.

the Third image I have edited i have used the b&w tool to make the image black and white only. I have done this because when take shots for my Christmas portfolio I will edit some images to make them black and white.

Process I decided to use birthdays because birthdays are celebrated all around the world. I have edited these photos using Photoshop and within Photoshop I have used different effects to change the original photos I selected in order to make the images look more like the products I wish to produce.

The first image I have edited I have used brightness and contrast to brighten the candles more and darken the background so that the audience can focus on the candles and cake.

The second Image I have edited I have used the vibrance tool to illuminate the bright colours and the brightness tool to highlight the main faces in the image. This image will be similar to mine because I want to have bright colours in my shots and have the main focus on people.

The third image I have edited I have used the b&w tool because like how the hand and white balloons stand out against the black balloons and background. I chose this image because I like the angle and the zoom focus used on the lens and how it makes the image look abnormal.

Reflection

• What elements of your experiments will you include in your final product?I will include most of the edit tools I used in my experiments because I think that they will make my product stand out more and work well in my Christmas themed portfolio. I chose images that have similar angles to the type that I want take, in order to see how the effects work with the angles and the lighting of the photos.
