DESCRIPTION:

My idea is to create a superhero DC midnight collage. The big moon is orange and the buildings are blue to create a contrast and make the collage look more impactful. Brightness, saturation and exposure are the most used tools in this collage, I have learned how to make a good use of them after attending Mr Fauzi classes. I try to make the overall look darker to present the 'midnight' vibe. Besides that, I make the top of the building and the moon more saturated since it is the light source in this collage and to catch the audience eyeball at first sight.

REFLECTIVE WRITING:

This week exercise is about using adjustment layer to adjust our composition. During this exercise, I have experiment with all kinds of adjustment layer & filter. It indeed make a huge difference after making adjustment and adding filter. In my case, my color is more rich and saturated. By adjusting brightness and contrast, I am able to create a shadow effect.
