For Creativity, I will be working on creating a Photo Essay. The topic for my photo essay would be Recycling and at the moment, the photos that I'm planning to include are the ones from the beginning on the Service reaching up until the end to show the progress of the day.
Since this was the first time that I would be creating a Photo Essay, I had to do some initial research in order to investigate some examples which I could base my Photo Essay on. An example that I found was one which Mr. Lockwood mentioned, which was 'Magnum Photos'. Upon viewing some of their example Photo essays, I've gotten a good idea on how I'm going to base mine on.
An example of one of the Essays that I found on their website was http://inmotion.magnumphotos.com/essay/theater-war
This essay had pictures which were normally in black and white. I believe that I can convert the pictures that I took during recycling and modify them in Photoshop in order to create that effect.
For example, this is a photo that I modified using the Black and White effects in Photoshop, settings which I used for this photo are displayed below:
Changing each setting would give the black and white a different shade, so I decided to play around with it a bit until I got the right fit.
Another thing that I'll have to investigate is the size of each photo since for the Photo Essay, they'll have to be of the same size. And i'll also have to decide where i'm going to be posting this essay, I may have to add a widget on the blog to display it or I could implement it into a post.
Another option that I could use is Photoshop Lightroom which is a photo editing software, below is a picture:
I think that Lightroom is a program main function revolves around what i'm planning to do. I was able to immediately change the picture into the Black/White mode and further edit it by clicking on 'Develop'.
I feel like the design of the interface is much more flexible since i'm able to import all the pictures which I am going to use at once and access them at once easily.
