Photo restoration exercise...

For this exercise I chose to restore this particular photograph that I found online circa 1920s. I absolutely love old photographs, in particular vintage fashion, so I really enjoyed this assignment. It was good practice with the clone and healing tool as well as colour replacement. I also added some vintage text in the background to still give it that vintage look amidst a restored old photograph.

Experimenting with colour...

This exercise involved using various ways to replace colour or to experiment with various colour adjustments. I found this assignment fun and interesting in that there are so many ways to achieve colour replacement and there are so many various effects that can be created. There are so many more that I could have done, but there is a point when enough is enough....but here they are...the first one is playing with colour adjustments and the second is using various methods of colour replacement.

ART324 | Exercise #1 | Collage

The requirements of this project where to create one collage using actual magazines, paper and newspaper and then scanning it into Photoshop and then to create a second collage in Photoshop using found digital images. The purpose is to see the difference between scanning in material--how various textures etc. look once scanned onto the computer--versus using digital images themselves. I chose to go with the theme of cities and "city life." The second collage incorporates both found images as well as images that I took during my visit to New York a couple of years ago. I thought I would change the images themselves a bit using various adjustments and colours, which cannot be done with actual cutout images, therefore I thought I would play around with the flexibilities and possibilities of Photoshop.
