- It allows you to manipulate and change photos in order to suit the characteristics that you wish to portray in the photo. This can be by changing the filters, removing the background with the magic wand tool or erasing imperfections with the clone stamp tool.
What are the challenges?
- I found positioning and adjusting the size of each of the photos I used difficult as it was hard to keep everything in proportion to one another. It was also a challenge to make sure everything did not look too clustered in one area and that the text was an appropriate size.
- It was hard to find a high quality image so if I wanted to stretch it, the pixels would not be grainy.
Techniques?
The techniques I used to create my finished project was the following:
- Magic wand tool
- Masking
- Changing the opacity of the layers
- Changing the contrast and brightness of the image
- Emboss and bevel on text
- Using multiple layers and changing the order of the layers
- I was happy with my finished project, I just felt that the photo I used of Muse was a little too big, even though they were supossed to be the headline act, it did not come across as that. I would probably used less bands as well as it seems excessive for a music festival for one arena, but overall I felt I used creative ideas such as putting Muse's band logo behind them as text.
Moving on to print prodution for the digipack and and advert, what advice would you give yourself?
- I would think about positioning of the text and font style so it looks conventional for our chosen music genre, also so the digipack or advert doesn't look too messy or too plain.
