PHOTO IMAGING

Sally Petersen has been in the Graphic Arts and Media industries for just on thirty years. Digitally enhancing photographic images is one of her favourite parts of the graphic design process.

Garden Basket

An image of a market garden was enhanced through filters and effects to give it an appearance of painted canvas.

A photo of a basket of vegetables was deep etched, then positioned over the market garden.

Combined, then a logo added, the pic was then used as a label on a pickle jar for a food processing company.

 
Sheffield Museum

Before the Sheffield Museum was re-painted, an artists impression was created allowing Kentish Council to
see an image of the end product prior to the paint
being purchased

Backyard Blitz

Before a local backyard was transformed into garden rooms an artist impression was commissioned. The property owner could then visualize how the pergola would look before the timber was purchased.
After the timber construction was completed, two individual photos were taken then digitally joined together, allowing a panoramic view of the finished work.

Digital enhancement was used on the pathway to tidy up the edges and grass was digitally added to the lawn area.
