I manipulated this photo in photoshop using layers to create the text over the image. I shot the picture in RAW which allowed me to play with the color balance. Because this is a "call to action I chose to edit some elements out of the picture I thought were distracting. The subject had some logos on his pants I chose to take out because it didn't add anything to the photo. I chose to fix a rip in his shirt that was also somewhat distracting.
I chose to the the visual do most of the talking and use a few simple words to bring the message home. I want people to get out and do things that they either love to do or have always wanted to do. I chose this picture to illustrate this action because I think it is well composed, the colors are nice and the perspective is unique.
After watching Helevetica, I chose to use that font because it is contemporary and simple and think it fits with my message.
I commented on the posts of, Ryan Cummings, Lexi Erickson, M’leah Riker, Dania Rice, and Collin Gringrich.
The usage of Helvetica was genius on this photo in my opinion. I also love how the D in Dare is capitalized but the rest of the words are not. Subtle, but powerful.
ReplyDeleteI thought the lighting and the font both really contributed to this picture. It was really well done!
ReplyDeleteI like how the skater is in the act of "doing a daring thing" it was a great photo choice for the call. Good job.
