week 1
- create border around photo
- add text
- definition of a word
raw photos
For the photo part of this image, I wasn't really sure what to take a picture of. The clouds looked pretty, so I ended up just taking different angled shots of the sky. In the end, I feel like I should have taken a picture of something more eye-catching.
edited photo
When editing this, I played around with the text function in photoshop to add a dictionary style definition of a word. I think that the picture could have turned out better if the image was more interesting. I also added thin lines to the borders of the photo to give it extra detail.
final
I printed this image on a 4x6 piece of luster paper. I matted it on a piece of white mat board with a gray core. This project turned out a lot different than I was thinking it would. I feel like I had a set idea of how I wanted this to look in the end, and I was a little bit dissapointed. The mat board also ended up being slightly big fpr my photo and the white edge showed, as well as some space inbetween the board and the photo. In the photo of the final matted piece below, the luster in the paper is evident, but the photo is angled and it makes the mat board look slanted, but in reality the edges turned out staight.
