Editing the color of imagesWritten by Maricon Williams
A color portrays character. It depicts positive or negative emotion or symbolism. It reveals unspoken words. It can be friendly, nervous, angry, sad, comfortable and trusting. While it is simple to use colors but we must be very cautious in doing so because you can be misinterpreted when you unintentionally present a derogatory impression. The colors may oppose substance of an image.Colors influence our perception, interaction and even way we feel. If you are sending wrong impression with regards to your choose of colors, you can turn to Photoshop since it is best tool for color correction. How to make color accurate? It’s easy. To start, open your image or photo in Photoshop. If you have a skilled eye, you can do correction manually with tools like color balance or channel mixer. Variations immediately show you different corrections available by selecting varying colors with different tones. By making photo darker or lighter and comparing it with original, you can be guided what to choose. Selective color makes drastic changes you can hardly tell. Color balance is used to purposely skew towards a single color or just to balance out image. You can also make adjustments on shadow, midtones and highlights of image. To do this, move sliders towards colors you need to bring up or balance.
| | Do contrast helps in your design?Written by Maricon Williams
Contrasts give your design distinction, uniqueness, character and identity. A print design project is a probable conversation. If done properly, it can yield a positive feedback – by that we can say that communication process has been successful. If not, it will remain unnoticed and your marketing project will not get impact that you are longing. Contrast is a good technique in creating a noticeable and understandable design and layout. Contrast can be size, color, direction, format or play between expected versus unexpected. Size contrast can entail graphics or type. The greater difference greater impact will be. To cite, in making type size in headline a bolder text compared to body text is used, it will not create same impact as having frail and small text. Sometimes background color of text also matters. Use a light or complementary background for your text or graphics to be visible or readable. It’s no sense making them when you cannot grab customer’s attention and comprehension. Colors can be a secret ingredient to achieve what you want. The use of extreme or unusual or unexpected color can easily divert eyes of readers. Our eyes are used to seeing black and white so use other colors to attract human eyes. Believe me it can draw attention and it can make an obvious impression.
