The shoe on the road was editted with Lomo-ish style. This picture highlights the shoe, and with the shadowed edges, it implies the importance of keeping focus straight ahead; blurring out any outside influences. The text color matches the shoe's color, and the text helps the audience with the meaning of the shoe on the road.
Geometry with lines and angles. I went with the pencil sketch because geometry reminds me of contractors and architects. They have to sketch out their plans, so this is a perfect picture to show the geometry that goes into planning. I adjusted the strength of the picture to show depth in the ceiling with darker shades. The picture was cropped as well, to center the ceiling rather than the cupboards. The picture still allows you to visualize different angles in the ceiling to the cabinets.
The rose shows growth and blooming. The reason I went with black and white on the outside, but color on the inside is to show the finished bloom and beauty of the rose. Highlights and shadows were adjusted to help emphasize and focus on the flower.
Vignette and Drop Shadow were used on this photo. I really like how it shadowed out the entire background and really focused on the two items in the picture. The Macbook Air's thin look makes this picture what it is. The stack of books and papers is a mess and disorganized, where as the laptop is clean and organized. "Technology Rules" is the text to help the picture. It is a simple and easy saying that the audience can understand.
