Project 3: Photodesign

1. Description: A demonstration of my personal photography and skills in editing as well as skills in Photoshop design.
2. Process (Programs, Tools, Skills, FOCUS principles): I first tarted my process by choosing a good photo amongst quite a few that I had taken. I used a Canon T83 to shoot all of my photos. Photoshop was then used to edit the photo where I adjusted the levels, vibrance, and saturation of the photo. Once I did all of this, I decided on a color scheme and I originally chose monochromatic with the color brick however I late changed that to analagous as the project continued forward. I then put my photo in an 8.5 x 11 layout adding colors from my color scheme and some text. I pulled my colors directly from a color wheel from my class book using the eye drop tool and proceeded to use circles as a design element to incorporate and label these colors into my design. I watched multiple Photoshop tutorials on how to create these circles with different thicknesses as well as how to type on curve. Once completed, my project matched the theme I had envisioned.
3. Message: I wanted to make a design that would capture the viewers attention and go along with the current month I was in at the time of the project.
4. Audience: Any Fall loving people who enjoy the colors of the leaves changing.
5. Top Thing Learned: I learned how to properly edit photos in Photoshop as well as how design within the program.
