For my project I decided to use a photo that I own that was taken by my mother. This photo is used as a cover image to the story I wish to tell because it is a photo of me. The design photo that inspired me the most was one of the examples you provided. The best one in my opinion was The Legend of Matt, I thought it was very well done and also funny. I used the gradient filter to emphasize the colors that were previously there. The school I attended was yellow and black so I liked how it looked when the yellow was brightened. This project was very difficult for me because I had a hard time finding photos that would relate to my topic without having to spend extra money. I don’t have many photos of myself playing anymore so this was one of the only photos I could find. I really struggled with trying to learn how to crop out parts of the background to replace with another image. My mother used this photo for my college football recruiting profile and gave me permission to use it for my school project.
