Before I finished with the design of the book I decided to fit in one more experimental edit. This would once again explore how the use of editing techniques could alter the portrayal of an image, using various colours to do so. I want to use the gradient because of its effects of changing the overall tone of a photo, whether it be bronze silver or two contrasting colours, something I found to be interesting when exploring conventions of the camera. Here I would be using the software Adobe Photoshop again due to its huge variety of tools available for use when looking at techniques not commonly used. This is the process of the development regarding the images used for experimentation:     After I had experimented with a variety of different gradients upon certain pictures I then selected the best photos that used the gradient the most effectively. I wanted to change the atmosphere of each image to a more surreal and unusual portrayal that used metallic colours to highlight certain aspects of them. Here are my favorite outcomes for gradient use: When looking over the images I found that I really liked the see-through metallic film placed over the photos, as it gave them an tinted and old effect that I hadn’t seen in any of my previous work. Accompanied through the slightest change of colour tone, the effects of the gradient seems to product abstract and surreal results that overall I was really happy with.
