Bohn+S-Texture

While creating this project, I used the compositional techniques of leading lines with Emily's arms along with the sidewalk. After picking out my photos, I did many things to make this photo look realistic and interesting at the same time. The 10 changes I made were first off cropping the photos. I used the cropping tool for the flowers, caterpillar, and the human. Next I allowed the flowers to be transparent. I also made the flowers more of a purple by using different hues. Lastly, with the flowers I made them brighter. Not only did I make the flowers brighter, but I made the human brighter too. With the human I also made the exposure higher and the offset lower. Finally, for the human I enhanced the colors by adding a cyan, magenta, and blue tint. For the background I also changed the hue and suration which made the sky and grass a lot brighter. To even things out I lastly, lightened the caterpillar and blurred out some of the grass. With the texture, you can really see the sidewalk/bridges texture and how it has a rough kind of old feel. You can also see the grass up front and notice how smooth it is. I feel I wasn't that successful on this assignment, but I did a lot better than I thought I would. If I did this project again, I would like to spend more time in photoshop to see all the interesting things you can do with some of the tools because I felt I could have applied more to this than I did. I also would probably pick something more creative for my project.
