Little Boy - Graffiti


I took this picture in Brighton, it was on the side of a shop. When I saw it I thought about how long the artist would have taken to create the picture and thought it looked really detailed.









I edited the picture to make it look like the rain had ruined it after the artist had spent so much time on their creation, so all the effort was for nothing. To give it this effect I use the 'Wet Paint' tool in the 'Distort' section, I changed the 'Wetness' so it looked like the black paint was dripping.


British Museum


This is a picture of the British Museum.








I gave this picture of the British Museum a Psychadelic effect because it is a big difference on the original because most people would think a Museum is quite boring, whereas this edit makes it more colourful and more exciting. I used the 'Psychadelic' effect from the 'Colour Transform' section.

Cheese Man Van


This is a picture of a 'Cheese Man' Van, I took the picture because it caught my eye when I looked down the road. When I saw it I smiled because it seemed so out of place.


I solarized the picture of the Cheese Man van because it gave it a darker look. I wanted it darker to contrast my feelings when I saw it. To create this effect, I used the 'Solarize' effect in the 'Colour Transform' section.

Crawley Skyline


I took this picture because there was a old/new contrast, with the old church and the site of a new building during construction.







When I edited this picture, I did so to re-enforce the old/new concept by inserting a page curl on the same side as the construction site to give the picture a sense of turning over a new leaf. To create this effect I used the 'Page Curl' in the '3D Effects' section.

Picture of Park

This is is a picture of a section of the park. I took this picture because I liked the clear line of sight through the park.






I put the charcoal effect on it because it made something ordinary look quite surreal. I made this effect by using the 'Charcoal' effect from the 'Art Strokes' section.
