Photoshop Process
In response to Stephane Massa, I have attempted to create several pieces of work that incorporate typography with two individual photos. I achieved this by using several new techniques, that enabled me to merge the three possible images together, to create a strong theme throughout the picture. As seen in the picture to the left, I used the path tool to establish the position of where on the picture I wanted my typography to be positioned. This was very helpful, as it meant I could use exactly the same postitioning for the typography, rather than having to overlap layers and risk them being slightly off center. The aspect that is my particular favorite about this piece is the way both photos are clear wihtin the picture, even though they are majrly overlapped by the other. The fact that these pictures are in effect taken of the same scene means that it can represent the point that the image is trying to get across, in that the sea is the main focal point.
In each of these images, I have used two photos that hold some sort of realation to eac other , and chosen words that are appropriate for linking each one. The "contrast" piece represents the difference3s between urban and rural areas, with a shot from Edinbourgh that I have purposfully edited to have a more monchrome temperatue, in order to show the bleakness of the city and lack of nature, whereas for the background picture which was taken on the outskirts of Edinbourgh, I have increased the saturation and vibrance slightly, to give it more of a summery tone. This creates vast differences between the images, and allows them to stand out amonst each other. As for the "Urban" image, I was stood in the exact same place in London, taking pictures of the bridge fromo two different angles. This allowed me to show two different aspects and how in different lights, each part of the object could look.
In my opinion, this image was the least sucessful due to the merge in colours on the letter "F" and "L". The blur that was created in the background of each due to me using an aperture of 5.6, works well in the original photos by causing the object to stand out, however makes the manipulated image not as bold, and enbales the letters to blend in with the background. I think I could have improved this by poitioning the seperate images in different places, in order to show more of the red flower and reduce the amount of background within the overlaying photo.
