Emphasis

Before

After

This activity entailed finding an image and then adding emphasis to a certain element in the picture.  The main idea of emphasis is to create visual hierarchy or a dominance of certain items.  the original picture of the piano (above) is a simple black and white.  The idea that I had was to create emphasis on the keys.  I played with the hue and saturation parts of Photoshop.  I ended up creating an "emphasis on color" through the keys on the piano.  They have a blue and purple value from the hue, it creates a unique image.  It is not common to see keys on a piano that are not white.  By creating this contrast in color between the keys and the black background, emphasis is definitely a key element in "after" picture.
