image manipulation you need to learn the basics of image editing like cut, crop,
replace etc. Also you need an image editing software to create the best
manipulation but it doesn’t really matter what software you use as long as you
know how to use it.
11. Existing Work
This piece of work is a movie poster and I
think I could possibly do something like this
for my final piece because I am wanting to
make a manipulation photo but I didn’t
exactly know how I wanted to show it off. I
am still deciding if to either do a manipulative
magazine cover or a movie poster but this is
an example of a movie poster. If I end up
changing my mind half way through it wont
be much of a problem because I could easily
change the way the font will look after the
main image is finished. I will be able to design
it how I want as I can make the image
different styles and turn it into a magazine to
promote something if I want.
