Initial Photos

As our brief for Eat 5* was to take black and white images of bath, and then use photo editing software to make an item green, i first had to find possible locations and items to take photographs on that contained green in them. I began by taking images of trees and leaves hoping that i would be able to include the company colour within them. This worked quite well as i could put in areas of the lime green required within the original colour of the trees, as making them all bright green would look ridiculous. I feel that the image of the pig works the best as it follows the brief and also advertises bath as the pig statues are a well known part of bath. I created these images by using a combination of techniques.I created the ones with natural elements in them by using the colour replace tool, and used the mask tool to create the pig. I feel that the mask tool would not have worked on the trees as it would have made them look too flat, whereas this technique worked when coloring the pig as it is a flat base paint on the pig anyway so did not require any added depth.

This is the contact sheet for my 5 final prints. Along with Kate's prints we will have 10 images to display.

  1. The idea behind the images was strong but the images themselves lack some imagination
