Digital Enhancements - Preliminary

Digitally Enhanced - Preliminary

 
Original Photomontage

I recently downloaded and tested adobe Photoshop Cs6 beta which has a new camera raw feature that has improvements in adjusting exposure, shadows, highlights, hue, and saturation, and other features which allows me to bring out the most detail possible in my image. As you can see here there is definitely some improvements in the clarity and texture of the image then in my original photo montage. Additionally, I fixed up and touched up a number of blemishes by applying layer masks to each layer and removing excess pixels that didn't belong there. For example, in the original If you see around the coffin in the top right corner of the image you can see many scattered pixels, but if you look in the Digitally Enhanced preliminary image, you can see those blemishes have been removed

Recreate A Book Cover - Preliminary

The book cover I chose to recreate is called "Written on the Body" by author Jeanette Winterson. I used a displacement map to make it appear as if the words "Written on the Body" were tattooed on the girl. The text in the background is the first paragraph of the book. The links to the original picture of the girl as well as the original cover of the book are posted below.

Final Design - Poster

This is my final poster design. As you can see it is a poster promoting the legalazation of marijuana. If marijuana were legal a lot more job opportunities  would open up and also people would be more open to taking it medically in moderation. In the poster you can see how marijuana is a safer alternative to alcohol, which many americans suffer from addiction of it today. You can also see how marijuana is indeed a medical substitution if used in the right way. And of course, if legalized it must be regulated as not to get out of hand.

Poster Preliminary- Legalize It

Here is my preliminary poster. Hey it's legal in California and Colorado, why not here? Also, if they legalize marajuana the government can create more jobs for people, like opening up dispensaries and taxing the product. In a sense it would be helping the economy.
