Brief 1 - Frame (Photoshop): Development of Leaves

This was the outcome for the leaf painting. Very little has been done to the painting. The curve levels have been adjusted so the colour is stronger and the dark is more prominent and the reds and browns look richer. The off grey colour has been kept around the edge because when it was cut neatly it looked bazar as it is a watercolour painting so the edges aren't meant to be neat. Its better this way because the paint that has run can fade off the page rather than being cut off or rounded off. If the edges were to be neatened then it would ruin the painting. The font is called "throw my hands up in the air" it is a hand rendered script font. It was chosen because its cursive soft lines fit in well with the leaf. It makes it feel hand made and put together rather than mass produced. The light brown colour which is chosen from the stem of the leaf means that the type not only matches into the leaf but is gentle on the eye apposed to black or a harsher colour. I am still unsure on the typeface but this is perhaps because it is out of my comfort zone as I am used to using san serif gothic fonts.
