Theme 1-Music and Text

From now until the rest of the year my pictures will all have the same theme. The theme that i will be working with is Music. I have been surrounded by music my entire life and it seems as if it will be with me for the rest of my life. Music has gotten me through good times and bad, and because of that I will always have a good relationship with it. The picture i have here is of a guitar, and to further show my respect for music i have added text. Adding text to a picture can do way more than just putting words in, it can help accent the message you are trying to get across. There are many way you can arrange your words and letters to accent that message even more so. For this picture i choose to add the text, "When words fall, music will rise", and the letters in the word "fall" looks like they are falling. I also have the entire "music will rise" part of the text lining the edge of the guitar going upwards. Instead of using Photoshop to add the text, I used Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator allows you to add text in many different styles. With the many different options, it is easier to find a style that will fit your photo perfectly.

Sharpen

Today we learned a new way to enhance our photos using photoshop. We learned how to sharpen our picture. Sharpening a picture allows the viewer to see more detail in the picture. As you can see in the before (first picture) and after (second picture) pictures, you can clearly see more detail in the after picture.
