manipulation
TRANSCRIPT
BEFORE AFTER
I have cropped the image to apply the rule of thirds. This makes the image more athletically pleasing as you subconsciously look at invisible guide line. Also this technique contributes to the expected conventions of the genre of Indy. Additionally It give a more professional feel to the image and makes it look more natural.
I have used the spot healing tool to remove all the creases in the grey background as it give the image a more consistent feel. I felt the creases added a armature tone to the image and was not necessary in the image.
I used the human saturation tool to enhance particular colours in the image and heighten the skin tones. I felt this would enrich the image and make it more professional. In my product research it was evident that artist of this particular genre heavily manipulated the image so I tied to incorporate this in to me design.
