High Contrast/ Vintage/ Pictorialism

The first edit is the high contrast. I edited it with the hue and saturation that were very high numbers. I made the variance high for more color. Lastly I used the curves to make the sky appear white. This was a simple edit that I have already been using on my photos this year.
In the second edit, I made it look as if it had a vintage color to it. I first used the curves to focus on the red, blue and yellow curves for a more of a yellow tint with lighter blues. Next I added a photo filter with a sepia hue to it so the whites would be a tea bag stained color. This was a more complex edit but fairly simple by using the curves and photo filter.
The last edit was using the pictorialism. For the picture I made the smart layer then I added a film grain to blur the image. Then I added a Gaussian blur for more watercolor affect. I played around with some of the filters and added a water color effect with to the picture and that made it easier to convey the look I wanted.

Theme Illistator

My theme is pop culture, for the editing process, I turned the original color of the house from yellow to a magenta color with the hue pallet. I also used the sharpen tool we learned in class recently at a very low amount. Then I went into illistator and added words surrounding the idea of "pop culture in the american dream" it's a broken down concept of the average american home being twisted by today's culture. On the roof of the garage it asks the question of "What is the dream of the suburban lifestyle?" It doesn't nessisarrily make sense, but its suppose to be corrupt. The illistator was a hard tool to use when fitting where I wanted the words to fit. But it was a great addition to the editing process.
