Hot. Cool. Yours.

Purpose:

• To strengthen your creative problem-solving skills so that you are looking at things in a different way;
• To find letters of the alphabet in everyday objects to create a word;
• To become familiar with basic Photoshop tools.

The first thing I learned whilst doing this project is that many things in our lives resemble letters and we might not know they do unless we really look at them. It's important to be able to see these things because it helps your recognition of words in everyday life. Another thing is how you can make objects that ordinarily don't resemble letters look like them. Such as with the air duct in the 'S' in "Yours". The last thing I learned is how contrast and brightness can have an effect on the values in the photograph. By increasing contrast, the difference in value of light and dark becomes greater. This is helpful as it can make outlines of objects show up better.
