Photo Edit





This piece of art was made to demonstrate the simplicity of editing a photo to make it seem either more realistic or in this case more radical/interesting. To describe it like it was made, it was a picture taking while in the fresh produce section of Safeway, and it's a  bunch of pineapples together. The interesting special effect is the right half of the picture appears to have deeper, or more reversed colors to the first one. With this contrast, it demonstrates the effect, I believe it was reverse color, or it was auto-level. Either way the effects show through the picture and proves its point through the middle.

There is no clear pattern in this picture being two different lines or sides, it only contains two sides that are clearly different from each other. The thing being contrasted is probably the pineapple or original side of the picture (left side) and the right is the reversed side. The different colors from each side is what is being emphasized the most being that the colors are so radically different. Balance would be asymmetrical, nearly symmetrical but each side has different content, making it asymmetrical. I would think it has some kind of unity but not as much as it would or should be because I put the line of division in a strange spot bordering the left pineapple.

As explained in the first paragraph, my explanation is that it helps display the easiness or lack of work to change a photo into something differently in a small amount of time. That would be the easy way to explain it, I can't exactly remember the thought process it took to actually create this one but it was basically the first reason and me experimenting with paint.net. Therefore as a result of that, I managed to get this picture done, which I will not admit is my best work but I would assume somewhat presentable.

I felt that in conveying the message it was designed to carry it did a pretty good job, and that is basically it, not anything special about in particular. No, because although contrast and emphasis were successful in my eyes, repetition was a dead weight here and balance is asymmetrical-like which is acceptable. I thought this one was done neatly, but of course being the creator I also found the division line too close or not done right bordering the left pineapple, otherwise it looks fine.
