For this week, I had to make set up 3 altered images in one file for my visual design class. For this assignment, I didn’t have any specific design considerations or methods in mind. I randomly just came up with the idea to use dogs. The one specific principle I chose to include was the idea of ethics we learned about in class. I made sure to pick pictures that I knew had the labeled for use with modification sign on it. With this being an introductory assignment, I treated it as an opportunity to experiment with different features on Photoshop that I had not yet explored. I played for a bit until I found 3 unique effects that I could use to make my selected photos look like art. For the leftmost photo, I used the pointillize feature then messed around with the brightness a bit. For the center picture, I gave it a purple frame and I distorted it to look more like a painting using filters. For the picture on the right, I applied a blue fill with low opacity as well as a tile filter. As for the dimensions, the canvas is 34.5 inches wide and 8.2 inches tall. The pixel sizing is 2488 x 592 with a resolution of 72 pixels per inch.
