My edits/ experiments:
I like how my first two edits above turned out as I think that the pattern makes the viewer interested in my images as it is very unique and different from others. I chose to create this edit as I think it shows how people don’t always think about pollution or climate change etc and how they look at it with a cover thinking that it isn’t as bad as people say it is. I think it shows that we don’t look directly at it and don’t do much to help make a change. If I were to do these two edits again it would swap the colours and the images as I think the dark image would look better with the white pattern and the lighter image would look better with the black pattern, however I think they still contrast nicely with the lighting.
For my second edit I chose to create this circular pattern with the image show the viewers how pollution and climate change, damaging the earth, is a reoccurring pattern and at the moment is never ending. I think that this edit turned out well as it is simple but effective and is engaging as it isn’t just a plain image.
For my third edit I have slightly moved sections of the image upwards and sections downwards alternating. I think that edit shows how Anthropocene isn’t as straight forwards as some people think and even by helping out in little ways it can help massively. I like how the edit isn’t as visible as some of my other ones and how you have too look closely to see what I have done with the image, similarly to how pollutions etc isn’t very visible to the human eye. If I were to do it again I would make it slightly more obvious.
Finally, for my forth edit I have tried to show how in this day some people etc try to forget/ cover up how we are damaging the planet by cutting out squares and moving them attempting to cover the industrial towers, however because the squared are parts of the buildings it shows how we cannot cover it up or leave it for other day. I like how the image is quite dark as it sets the mood for the theme of the image as it isn’t a happy topic.
