Final

For my final project I decided to use Photoshop. I chose this because up until taking Creativity in the Visual World I had never worked with Photoshop before. I found it be quit challenging but at the same time extremely interesting. I was unsure of what picture to actually Photoshop originally. However, I decided that I would really like to do something to the Eiffel tower because I had traveled to Europe and seen it in person many years ago. I thought that it would be interesting to play around with it and see what kind of creative ideas I could come up with.
At first I decided to pull the features of the picture out. I made the Eiffel tower stand out more. From there I thought of taking the picture and making it black and white. I felt that this gave the photograph a soft and gentle feel. However, I realized that this did not take much use of Photoshop. I also knew that I was not satisfied with ending with a black and white photo.
Next I came to the conclusion that maybe instead of black and white I could actually change the colors. I played around with what colors made the picture eye catching. In the end I decided on blue and pink. It made the picture look more like a painting than an actual photograph.
Once I had decided on the colors it was time to play with the piece. I changed the picture from an actual photograph into paintbrush. This allowed the photo to look softer and have a better flow.
The next step to my piece was changing the photo to look like plastic wrap. I felt this gave the allusion that the Eiffel tower was glistening. By adding this affect it draws the viewer’s eye in to the Eiffel tower, which should be the main focus of this piece.
Finally I decided that my piece should take place in the night. In order to show this I added pink and blue stars which would match the entire piece and flow with what I had already done. Once I added this detail I decided to use the plastic wrap affect again.
