Edited Double Page Spread Image


This is the edited version of my double page spread image. I have edited the brightness to bring out the artist more, as well as to shine a light on him and his surrounding urban, run down setting. I also slightly changed the contrast to make the lights in the background.

Edited Contents Page Image 2


This is the edited version of the second image off my contents page. I used Pixlr to edit it. I used the 'Ingrid' photo effect, which makes the colors heavily saturated and makes them more noticeable. I also cropped the photo to cut unnecessary blank space.  The editing puts an emphasis on the colors of the shoes and the clothes which is intentional. The construction work is also more apparent due to the editing, I also put a very slight blur effect on the photo.

Edited Contents Page Image 1


This is the edited version of my first contents page image. I used Pixlr to edit it. I changed the opacity and made it higher to make the group stand out more. I also put the brightness down slightly as the lighting in the background was too strong beforehand. I also used the sharpen tool to reduce the blur.

Edited Front Cover Image


I used Pixlr to edit this photo. I used the sharpen tool to clear up the blur, as well as a color effect to make the light brighter and the group stand out more. I also put the contrast up slightly.
