DESCRIPTION:In this digital collage, I've adjusted the hue, brightness, and hue separation of the people and rubber plant layers at the very bottom.I adjusted the color balance of the cyan typewriter, and I liked the color so much that I didn't change its hue drastically, just made it look orange.I didn't adjust the layer of the building at the very top, because it looks like it stands out more as the visual center.
FEEDBACK
Week4
The adjustments weren't obvious enough, so I added more adjustment layers to create a completely different look.
