This document discusses various aspects of page layout and design, including terminology, grids, visual hierarchy, and image processing. It provides information on different ways to source images, such as from books, Google Images, stock image libraries, copyright free sites, and taking your own photos. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are outlined. The document also covers image editing techniques like cropping, scaling to different sizes, and adjusting resolution and light. An example is given of light editing done to an image to make it warmer.

23. Images sourced from books:

24. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
Advantages of sourcing images in this way is that it can be easy to find images directly
related to the subject, and that it doesn't take much time to find images. Images that
are found can be high quality, along with giving links to other images that may be
relevant to the subject which has been searched. The images will usually give a direct
link to the website they are from, allowing us to know if they are effected by copy right
or not.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
It may be difficult to find images in this way if there are not many books related to the
searched topic, images may also come out low quality if they are having to be scanned
in for use. It isn’t always known if the images inside of books are subjected to copy
right or not, which may provide issues if the images are wanted to be used for
something. The images found may not always be accurate and could be taken out of
context and be misused.

25. Images sourced from google images:

26. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
Advantages of scouring images in this way is that it is easy to find these types of images
and it also allows people to search for specific types of images, with Google allowing a
more detailed search engine. It is also quick and easy to find high quality images
relevant to the search topics.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
Images searched may not always be relevant to the topic search, images could also
come up low quality. It is also unknown if some of the searched images are subjected
to cop right or not. Images that are searched in this way may not be able to be
correctly sourced, which means that correct credit can not be given when the images
are being used.

27. Images sourced from stock image library:

28. Images sourced from copyright free site:

29. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
It is quick and easy to find images in this way. Images are usually always related to
the searched topic and can be professionally taken images.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
Images may have water marks so they would need to be paid for, to have full access
to even if the images aren’t a high quality. Copy right free images can come out with
an extremely low quality making them unstable for use.

30. Images sourced from your own existing images:

31. Advantages of sourcing images this way:
There is no time constraint and limitation on what pictures can be taken, images can
be used freely without being subject to any form of copy right.
Disadvantages of sourcing images this way:
Images aren’t always guaranteed to come out high quality and may come out blurry,
over or underexposed.
The taken images may not always be suitable for use depending on what the images
have been taken for.

32. Processing
Images

33. Original image:

34. Cropped image:

35. Scaled images:
A4
A5
A6

36. Resolution image:
300dpi for print
72dpi for web

37. Advantages of different resolutions:
The advantages of different resolutions is that they are able to be changed according
to the required settings for a program or website such as Photoshop or Facebook.
Disadvantages of different resolutions:
Sometimes it can be difficult to get the correct resolutions for a certain
program/website which means the image may turn up in a low quality if it is the
wrong resolution.

38. Light exploration

39. Explain the changes you made to the image and explain why you made those
changes:
The changes that I made to this image was to the hue and the colour balance, I
decided to edit these to give the image a brighter and warmer feeling as compared
to the original which was cold and didn’t come off as warm. With changing these on
the image I was able to make the colours brighter to give it a warmer feeling and to
allow it to have a different atmosphere than at first. Overall I feel that I have been
able to achieve what I have aimed for by making a few basic adjustments to the
image.
