LO5: methods of display.

Frame of reference:
I think that the frame of reference piece would be best suited for a canvas and this is because a lot of architectural photography is mainly shown in exhibitions.
The price of it on a canvas would be between £15 - £30.

Conflicting Sheffield:
I think that the conflicting sheffield piece would be best suited for printed T-shirts, this is because it related to football and many football fans like to keep a lot of memorabilia.
The of the print would range from the £1.00 - £5.00

Old vs new:
I think that the old vs new piece would be beat on a digital frame and this is because Park hill is currently under construction right now so you could have a collection of images showing the progress of the project.
The price of the digital frame will be around £40 - £60.

Stirling prize:
I think that this piece will be better in a gallery and this is because it was nominated for the Stirling prize so it should be open to the public for them to see why.
Since it would be in a pubic gallery it will be free to view.

Dark Fantasy:
I think that this piece would be would suited on printed memorabilia, this would be good especially in the kelham island museum.
The price would around £1.00-£5.00

LO5: Edited Photographs - meaning.

Conflicting sheffield. 

In this piece I wanted to connote how things like football which is meant to bring people closer together can divide a city, especially since what happened between most of the cites in Yorkshire and Margret Thatcher. It is like what I have portrayed in the picture, when it comes to football it is like the city has been split in two. This is linked to my assignment where need to show of the identity of sheffield, one of the things that sheffield is known for is its football.


Old vs New
In this piece I wanted to connote a contrast between the old and the new park hill flats. I have managed to replicate the old 80's look onto the new building. This was done to connote that although all of the the flats are being replaced the old ones will never be forgotten and that is because of its history. To maintain a strong sense of community, neighbours were re-homed next door to each other and old street names from the area were re-used (e.g. Gilbert Row, Long Henry Row).

Frame of reference
In this piece I wanted to connote different ways of looking at the cheesegrater car park. In the first image you have the old painting, this one connotes how some people see that building as a piece of art, something that is creative and pleasing to the eye. The second one is dark and this connotes all of the negative views about the building. Many people argue that Sheffield doesn't need another car park, and it makes even more sense when there is another car park just across the road. The other piece has an old looking texture, this connotes to people how some people see the cheesegrater as a new piece of history by making its mark on Sheffield. The forth piece has an underwater texture to it and this was because some people thing that there is just not enough money laying around for needless car parks, which has now left people thinking that Sheffield has now been submerge in a lot of debt. The last piece was left plane and that is because some people just see it as just another building that has been built for tourism.


Stirling Prize


The reason for this piece is to connote how park hill is now increasing the rate of tourism in Sheffield now that the project was short listed in the final six for the RIBA Stirling prize which is a British prize for excellence in architecture. It is things like this that make the park hill project a promising one and it could end up being reconsigned world wide once it is finished.


Dark Fantasy 
 
The reason for this piece is to connote everything kelham island has done for Sheffield, by having the picture as over-exposed. However its the negative that gives it this look and that corresponds with  negative effects this had one Kelham island as it tried to balance the water level of the river Don and provide electicity of all the trams that had just been introduced back in 1899.

LO4 Edited Photographs

Final Piece:



 
To create this piece I have to create 5 different layers to since I wanted 5 different types of images, I then needed 5 more layers which needed t be completed white which made the white boarder. Once this was done I was able to add different textures to the images. To add the textures you make sure that the texture is completely covering the image, then you go to the blending options and you pick whichever one you think is best. In this I had picked dissolve for most of them as I though that it suited the image.

Final Piece:

 

To do this image to need to add a clipping mask to each layer you wan to blend into the first layer. Once I did this I made sure that the colour black was selected and that I had selected the brush tool, I then started to go around the image until the image started to blend into the first layer. This was done for both the club crest and the names on top of it.

Final Piece:



Original image


 
To create this image I needed 5 layers in total, firstly I had made copy of the first layer. I had then made the copied layer black and white and had made a copy of that layer. Making three layers in total. With the third layer I had brought down the level of the grey scale to 50% and then I had made another copy of that. Now with the forth copy I added a clipping mask and I had filled it with the colour black. To finish off the image I had added another layer and I had fill it with the colour beige, once all this was done I had hide the first layer which resulted in the image looking how it is now. 

Final Piece:


 

To create this piece I added the solarize effect to the image, this effect changes the properties of the light. So the light objects appear dark and the dark objects appear lighter.

 \Final Piece:




To create this piece I had used the magnetic tool to cut out the park hill name from the wall and transferred it over to the bridge creating a new layer in the process. I had the moved the sign onto the bridge and I had added the clipping mask and used the brush tool to blend it into the bridge. Once this was done I had gone onto the image window and had selected posterize an had selected the level I thought was right for me.
