Art 7 Photo Editing November 5th and 6th

Art 7 Photograph Editing

In class today we will watch an instructional video on how to edit a photo.  Watch the video and then try to make some edits to your photos.  Pick one photo to play around with first.  Playing around with a photo will give you an opportunity to see what this software program can do to photos and you don’t have to worry about making mistakes.  If you don’t like an edit you made just hit the “revert to original” button, or "control Z" to go back one step.  When you feel comfortable using the software then you can try making some real edits to a photo.  If you get stuck try asking 3 classmates for help before you ask the teacher.  Here is the link to the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwyCG1004o4

Here are some edits I would like you to try:

• Try some of your photos in black and white
• Use the Crop tool to help you with Rule of Thirds
• Try vignette on some of your black and white photos or color photos
• Play around with contrast and color saturation
• Try to adjust exposure of some of your photos
• Have some fun with color
• Try some of the other tools just to see what they can do

When you finish all the editing you can do finish the Color Wheel you started with Ms. Widel last week, and if you finish that ask Ms. Widel for a Value Scale to work on.

Shape

Some tools that are useful as you use shapes to create your logo:

1. Get rid of the default drop shadow in the Format / Style menu on right.
2. Select multiple shapes and group them in the Format / Arrange menu.
3. Move shapes in front and behind in the Format / Arrange menu.

Need inspiration? Look at The Noun Project or flaticon. Don’t download anything...just look for ideas.

Here are more graphic design resources if you are interested.

As you are working, ask yourself these questions.

Ask Yourself Why

Words have meaning.

Shapes have meaning.

Colors have meaning.

Fonts have meaning.

Graphics have meaning.

How do your choices enhance the meaning?

Ask yourself WHY!

Typography (Fonts)	Why did I choose these fonts?
Color	Why did I choose these colors?
Shapes	Why did I use these shapes?
Contrast	Why did I make these things stand out?
Alignment	Why did I line up my shapes and text this way?
Repetition	What did I repeat and why?
Proximity	Why did I put things where I did?
