Objectives: Take an image using a DSLR camera. Create a full bleed design over one of the images taken paying specific image to color scheme. Learn basics of Photoshop.Process: First I went out and captured images demonstrating good use of light, focus, and composition and then opened the images in Adobe Photoshop where I preformed four basic edits.
