Creative Edits

I changed this photo that I downloaded from the internet (Matt Kloskowski 2019) using two editing software, one was airbrush, and another one was PS Express. Firstly, I applied the PDX-2 filter from the Portland filter option through the airbrush software and by using that filter, I got this result:

• 

Secondly, I used the PS Express software to transform it even further by applying Sepialll filter, which gave it a beautiful contrast with the more defining look of the picture. At last, I used Vignette Black filter to provide it with incredible black edges and a lightening effect on the top of the photograph. These all filters completely transformed the picture and gave it a creative visual look.

Furthermore, the photos are edited with the motive to give a new Visual experience to the users and sometimes to hide the original definition of the picture. “In dark UX, color theory is manipulated to misdirect, language is used to confuse rather than clarify, and the user is exploited to boost company reach or profits” (Just in mind 2017). Additionally the photo i edited, only includes the change in the colour contrast of the picture and it gives the dark look to the picture from the bright blue colour and this highlights the theory of 5 common UX dark patterns and user-friendly alternatives (2017) it says that the dark patters are used to misdirect the users from the original meaning of the photograph and it sometimes can work for short term but in long term it can be loss for the editors.

Lastly, i have made two posts in my wordpress account and this is my second post which i edited myself. It was a new experience for me but the guidance given in the class helped me a-lot to complete my Assessment 4 and to make my second post on the wordpress.
