Above is the texture I attempted to create for the second part of the lab. This was definitely the harder part of the lab, and I think were I too do it over, I would look for a better source image, as this texture still bears the marks of its initial offset.

Furthermore, when I used the pattern again, these issues were amplified, where I thought I had made the hard edges difficult to discern in the above file, the fill bellow looks very much like an artificially developed texture.

When looking at the differences in shooting the Tim’s cup on my phone versus on my camera, the first thing that stands out to me is the depth of field. The second image, a downsized copy of the one I shot on my camera, has a clear separation of focus between the subject and the background. Conversely the first image, taken on my phone, has a much broader focus and was a generally wider image when compared to the dslr, which was taken on an 85mm lens. The color is also more vibrant in image taken on the dslr. The images taken from the magazine in gallery below:

Above are the objects I scanned. The effect of a scan’s resolution on image size is the higher a resolution of a scan, the larger the image will be.

This was a quick image of a sun I developed in photoshop from scratch. I decided on the dimension 4 inches by 4 inches, my decision to keep it small was dictated y wordpress’ limitations in terms of file size, and I also thought a square aspect ratio would suit the design.
