Poster art

Using Photoshop I have been creating a piece of poster art using different efeects, layers and tools. I started off with a set of standard images which I then opened in Photoshop and selected the areas in each image which I wanted to use and cut them out from the rest of the picture. I then simplified the picture by turning black and white and then adjusting the levels so that a lot of the details in each of the pictures are removed. To highlght certain areas in the pictures I burned certain details I wanted to highlight and got rid of the grey tones. Next I used the stamp filter to give the image a bold poster effect. I did these processes for each of the images I wanted to put into the final poster. Next I added colours and effects to the images using the different brushed and fill tools. Gradually building up of effect and colour. The attached picture is my first attemt.

I like some of the effect that i created and I am going to try this again using some of my own images.

staged photography

My chosen title for this section of my Photographyphotography A2 level is Staged . Staged photograpahy as a concept is a performance played out before the camera usually by people within a carefully selected and arranged environment or in some case just a scene created by the photographer for them to photograph. This type of photography is used and can be seen in many different aspects of media and art. From photojournalism to art to fashion and product promotion.
