Composition:
Photography brings a visual language that is universal in understanding. We must then understand its vocabulary which consists of shapes, textures, patterns, lines, colours, shade of light to dark and sharp to blurry images. Just as we must learn to arrange words in a coherent order in order to make sense when we write or speak, so too must we put visual elements together in an organized manner if our photographs are to convey their meaning clearly and vividly.
Composition means arrangement: the orderly putting together of parts to make a unified whole; composition through a personal, intuitive act. However, there are basic principles that govern the way visual elements behave and interact when you combine them inside the four borders of a photograph. Once we have sharpened our vision and grasped these basic ideas of principles, then we will have the potential for making our photographs more exciting and effective than ever before.
In Photoshop we learned how to manipulate images to create new posters.
In Photoshop we learned how to manipulate images to create new posters.
I learned how to edit pictures and film posters to enhance and portray different effects using various tools like the "Lasso" , "burn" and "stamp" tool.Then we look at mixing and recreating film posters puting them together,blending pictures into others, getting used to the "layers". Other editing aspects of photoshop were covered as we learnt how to change effects like colour, tone and use the "liquidate tool" allowing us to soon able to produce our own perfected photoshop images. I found it very interesting to see what you can do to a picture, to make someone look more beautiful or something like this.
We look at what is on a poster and what it means.
