Firstly I opened up my images on Lightroom and went through them all selecting that images I wished to use using ‘x’ to reject the image and ‘p’ to pick the image. I then filtered my collection to only have my selected images viewable to create my final selection. final selection
Artist inspired edits:
For my first edit I was inspired by Barry Rosenthal. I used bottle caps of different colours, shapes and sizes and placed them on black card photographing them. As you can see above I then selected the background and filled it in black to make it sharper. I then began to use the quick selection tool and selected the individual bottle caps. layer via coping’ them and moving the duplicated caps around to fill the image. For my second edit, also inspired by Rosenthal, I used old pencil colours and pen lids to create a square shaped pattern on black card. I then used Photoshop and the quick selection tool again to select the background and filling it in black to make the pencils stand out more prominently. Lastly, I cropped the image to make sure that the pencils were in the centre of the image. For my last image inspired by Rosenthal, I used the same old pencils and laid them all out on the black card randomly. In photoshop I then used the quick selection tool and selected the background. filling it in black to make the image sharper.
Industrial edits:
For my next two edits I used some industrial image that we taken at bellozane. I opened up my image on photoshop and duplicated the original image. I then filled the second image one with white and the other with black. I then began to use the elliptical marquee tool to select circles all over the image, revealing the original image behind.
I repeated this on both images creating a stencil like pattern over the image. For my fourth edit I also used one of my industrial images, and the elliptical marquee tool. I used the tool to select a circle in the middle of my image, before layer via copying it and using CTRL + T to select the circle. I then rotated the image slightly to the right and repeated this process multiple times until I got to the middle of the first circle. For my fifth edit, I used another of my industrial images and the rectangular marquee tool as seen below. I used the tool to select rough squares of different sizes and layer via copied them. I then used CTRL + T to select the squares and moved them to a different part of the image. I repeated this multiple times until the main part of the image was covered. For my final edit, I used my last industrial image and the rectangular marquee tool like in the edit above. This image I selected rectangles in columns and also layer via copied them. I then also selected them with CTRL + T and alternately moved them either up or down slightly. I repeated this until the whole image was distorted.
