Photo Manipulation

Original

This is a photography I took of the Old City Hall. By using the adjustments in Photoshop I changed the lighting of the image, the contrast/ brightness, levels and vibrance. Also by using the Ruler tool the image was straightened since there was a slight tilt to the photograph. The Healing brush tool also came into play to take out the fire hydrant. I felt that the yellow hydrant was distracting the viewer from the city hall and Canadian flag; therefore I removed it completely. Lastly, with the Burn-tool I crated a slight darkness to the edges of the images in order for the viewer’s eyes not drift off the page. Small changes where made in this image, but it just goes to show you do NOT have to over Photoshop images to improve them

This is a photograph I took of a homeless man on Queen Street. I thought it was a great photograph for a poster. Therefore have composted a poster for an organization that assists homeless, which is called ‘Touchstone Youth Center'. This organization helps homeless off the streets and back on their feet. I have composed this poster by using Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Photoshop, was used for cropping to a 10 X 8 image. By using the Adjustment I changed the contrast/brightness, and the curves in the image, also I have used the Burn tool, all of those tools where used to focus in on the male in the photograph. Illustrator also was used in order to re-create Touchstone’s logo, so that it could not be pixilated for the size of this poster. Lastly, InDesign was used for to match the typography of the type in the logo in order to create a balance.
