Experiment with Colour on Photoshop

As you can see, below i have experimented with different tools on photoshop to create different looks for my final garment.


 
In this image I used the blur tool to create a contrast between the garment and the background. Also changing the hue and the contrast to brighten the image. I was going for a grungy, ghostly look to make the black and white in the dress stand out.


I sharpened this image to create a 'edgy' look. I also used the hue and contrast tools to brighten the image.


In this image I blurred the background using Gaussian blur tool, a neon glow filter to create a 'grungy' look. Also experimenting with hue and saturation to help add to this look. Although the filter 'Sepia' was not used in this edit, the look was created to have an 'edgy sepia' look to it. 

With this image i wanted to experiment with colour. Therefore I changed the colour of the gingham to pink by using the quick selection tool and then used the colour balance tool. Then to highlight the change of gingham and to make a more aesthetically pleasing photo I changed the background to black and white.

Here I did a similar edit as the image above, except I wanted to see the changed colour against the same background. I changed the colour by using the quick selection tool again and then used the colour balance tool.

Overall I feel that these images show how I have developed using Adobe photoshop and can use it in my work in my future career. I also feel that the edits have shown other possible ideas (colour changes) that would still work well with the garment. By doing this in the design process you could see how a potential idea would look when developing.

Final Garment: Urban Utility Gingham Dress

This is my final garment for my first year of my course at college. I am very proud of this dress as i feel that it was well constructed and was perfect for the brief that was set. 


Here i used photoshop to brighten the image using brightness and contrast, hue and saturation tools and experimented with the colour balance. I did this to create a more striking image and to put the focus onto the dress. I also did this by choosing a location with a plain background to make the dress more of a contrast.
