For my PPRD task 2 we were assigned to cut out words from a magazine or a newspaper article, put them in a bag and shake them, then pick out up to 15 words at random. These 15 words will then make out our Dada Poem. I chose to do a simple quote out of these words, and the words I picked out were “ Relax for Pretty Life”.
I wanted to show relaxation within my image so I chose a picture I took myself from back home in Cyprus, of the beach. The image is a close up of the water waves coming into shore. I believe the beach is one of the most relaxing places a person could go. I opened up my image into Photoshop and turned it into black and white.
I then put a warming color filter on it to make it look like a Sepia color. After that I used the history brush tool to bring back the color of the waves coming onto the shore and adjusted the color levels and contrast to make it look more vibrant. This resulted to having three-color tones in my image, which made it look more exciting as well as relaxing. I placed my quote below on the sand, in a Zapfino white font; using the blending options I placed a glow and a shadow around it to make it stand out. As a finishing touch I placed a white rose next to it. I believe I have illustrated my quote into this image quite well and I am pleased with my outcome.
