For my third and final main image I decided to head over to photoshop and test out some features such as, invert, find edges, pixelate and vibrance. This idea doesn’t have any inspiration from any artist.
To begin, I tested out features to try and make the house stand out more in the image. Firstly I changed the whole photo to the colour scheme of black and white because it is much more effective on this type of image.
Next, I picked out 4 filters/ features and had to decide which one I am going to work with:
After trying to decide which one I preferred the most I ended up choosing the colour effect. I chose this because it makes the image a lot more interesting and eye-appealing with a different style of editing. I do really like the colour effect because it creates an unnatural feeling towards viewers.
I also tested out other filters such as ripple but I don’t think it was effective as the colour effect. Ripple experiment:
I decided to try and mix 3 effects together and experiment whether it would look more intriguing. I also, tried to mix just two of the effects together to see the outcome. Here’s how they turned out:
Twirl and invert Find edges and invert Find edges and twirl
After making a hard decision I chose to pick the image with only the colour effect with black and white because it looks very clean and basic but stands out very well.
Final outcome:
Evaluation:
Overall, I am very happy with the way this image turned out because I feel this is a very good response towards the topic of Anthropocene. The colour in the image presents a man made structure however the black and white presents how nature has been damaged from human life.
