Color Swatches

I decided on this color theme so that I could have different HPU colors. This gives me inspiration for the HPU brochure passport project.

Photo Story Edits

This is my original photo

Here I changed the levels to adjust the brightness by moving the black and white undertones to make her face brighter and clearer.

Here I adjusted the curves with an auto default to make the picture have a different contrast. 

Here I added vibrance to the picture which makes the image pop more and I barely adjusted the saturation because doing that makes the colors change too much.

Blog Photo Story

I have decided to do my photo story on my friend Sara's birthday night. Tomorrow, Wednesday September 3rd is my friends first birthday at college away from her loving family and friends. A group of us decided to do our best to fill Sara's night with fun and friends to ensure a memorable birthday with  new friends away from home!
This story is significant because we are all newly arrived freshman who are trying to find our way here at High Point University. Sara is the first birthday we will all be together and we are all excited and hopeful for a fun night with all our new friends! Since her birthday is tomorrow I will get my pictures taken very soon with plenty of time left to play around with editing. I will take shots such as
candids of her in her birthday outfit/crown
the group walking
laughing
dinner
drinks
decorations
cake/candles
and more.
It would be tough to return to the scene to take more pictures if I find it necessary so I will take many pictures and always work the shot to make sure all the pictures I take will be useable and up to par! I will also be sure my phone is fully charged to ensure no technical problems!
