We were thought the basics of photoshop in the first few classes of digital media. We learned how to layer images, make patterns, change the colour/contrast etc which I found very interesting and helpful and gave me new ideas. This is one of my photographs of an umbrella which I edited on photoshop, I gave the back ground a muted purple/grey colour and emphasised the green ares. I then used luminosity for the umbrella itself to stand out. I then made ghost copies of the skeleton of the umbrella which I layered on top of the background which I think gave it more depth and added to my idea of broken objects and deterioration.
In this picture, I scanned in my lithograph print and I changed the contrast and swapped the background from white to multicoloured geometrical segments to fit around the skeleton of the umbrella. I made the colours different and fade in areass so that it was natural and less artificial.
In this version I decided to see how my image would have worked as a woodcut. I contrasted the black and white of the original image much more and then added in red scratchs over umbrella itself, I gave the background a plain mustard yellow background to compliment the simple colour palette of black white red and yellow.
In this version I learned how to combine two images, so I took my lithograoh print and super imposed it on top of one of my photographs. I then played around with brightness levels and opacity, so that even though the print was on top on the photograph layer you could still see the photograph through the print.
