Project 3 Photodesign

• Description: This project demonstrates high quality photography and image editing skills and the ability to pick and match a color scheme in a full bleed poster.
• Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): In this project, I used a digital camera to take the picture. I used indoor lighting and the light from outside to capture a good photo. I used the rule of thirds to create a photo that had good composition. I developed the new skill of photoshop to develop the colors that I wanted to be stronger. I used a triadic color scheme to draw attention from my audience. I sketched my ideas before I started my project to know how I wanted to get my message across. I left plenty of negative space so that I would create simplicity in my poster.

This project had brought me to two new activities that I have not had experience with, photography and photoshop. I have always appreciated a good picture and I was excited to take my chance with it. I learn a lot about the camera that I was able to rent for the activity and had fun using my imagination in building different photos. It was interesting to look around a place that I am at everyday for something that would make a good picture. I appreciated this activity because I got to see the beauty in this campus that I had not seen before.

The other aspect of this activity was photoshop. This was an interesting experience. Photoshop is something that I am excited to use in the future because I have so much to learn in it. I am slowly understanding how to use more and more skills and tools that are apart of photoshop.
