Monochrome

Adding a monochrome effect to a photograph can create depth and deception. The above photos I have taken myself and then edited on 'snap seed'. The first images is bubbles on a windscreen in a car wash. I took this images because I loved the effect it made. I then thought this would look even better edited, to add more of a atmosphere. 

The second image is of some shoes I bought. I laid the shoes out in a certain way then took the photo. I wanted to add a vintage effect to this image, which I think I created well on Photoshop. It gives a grainy, rustic effect.

Mood-board Skills

I have created this mood-board for a restoration project I am doing on a Picture Theater that was bombed in WW2. 

Display - Belle Fleur Florist

 This Display is from my cousins Florist in South Cave. She asked for my help in making her 'Mothers Day' display.

We  got together and discussed ideas and the feel we wanted to put across. We decided on a farmhouse/shabby chic feel. This included distressed furniture, hanging fabric hearts and pastel shades. 

I think it gives a real homely, girly feel and really attracts the attention of the public.

An Ounce Of Prevention Is Worth a Pound Of Cure

                      

The world often voice their concerns about the population growth and the ever expanding increase of industrial activity.

Concern over supplies of fossil fuels and energy prices increase more everyday.

Today, people are thinking of innovations to protect the environment and use less energy in their buildings.

But the one area where we can begin to consider the environment  is in the process of construction and architecture.

Red Arrows Show

An amazing air display from the Red Arrows at RAF Leeming. It was hard to take your eyes off this breathtaking display of graceful near misses, dips and dives. All photos I took and edited my self.

Snapshot Illustration from the book I made

An illustration from a book I created for a childminder. This book is all about one owl and how he finds friends. I like the child like effect I used within the book, as if the drawing and colours used where selected by a child. I wanted to capture and interest my audience, that's why I produced it in this way.
