This week I edited some pictures for visual communication. I used photoshop for the editing of the photo’s. I picked one photo of a lonely bench, covered with snow and edited it 9 times.

First we had to find one picture we liked. After hours of looking I found a picture from this site. We had to bring this picture to our Visual Communication class.

We looked at all the pictures everybody brought to class. We discussed what we saw in the pictures. First it was a discussion about what we think is pretty and what we feel when we see the picture, but after some time we were looking at compositions, lightning, colors etc. The result was a discussion about how the maker/shooter of the picture brought a message to the public.

This lesson I learned not to just watch a picture, but to analyze one.
