Changing the color of a blazer

This client needed to change the color of her blazer from navy blue, to red.

I also tightened up the levels on the photo, to remove some of the mid tone greys, which adds a little more life and color to her face.

Image Editing

A client needed to take a photo and edit out all the extraneous background clutter so it would emphasize what she wanted.

She wanted specifically to edit out the woman behind her arm, the man on the left, the fire alarm behind her head, the thermostat behind her signs, and she wanted to remove the glare from the lights on her signs. She also wanted the photo cropped closer.

In addition to these things, I also used the Rule of Thirds to crop the photo so her face intersected the upper horizontal and left vertical.

Funeral Program

My father in law and stepmother in law drowned in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey. I made the funeral program for them, and am including here samples from that brochure. It was made so the pages were offset 3/4" from each other, which generated a tabbed look, allowing the reader to flip to different sections of the program easily. I am not including all the personal tributes and family photos in this post.

Here is the front outside cover:
