Drawing the Finals
As seen, most changes were applied in terms of context - the vignettes no longer look like they are floating in the middle of nowhere, and the use of circles were to more imply a fisheye lens effect, something else that feels a little unsettling. I also used this opportunity to increase tonal ranges and look at how lighting worked - something I hadn't applied to the drafts and feel that it made the images
feel much deeper. I did have to make smaller points in each image a little proportionally inaccurate, making them bigger so the detail wasn't completely lost upon editing (i.e. the hand in the wooded image is a little chunky but the occasion called for it). For the title pages, I added small L shaped borders in each corner to pull the whole page together - otherwise, the amount of negative space made it seem a little unfinished. There were aspects of these pieces I was unhappy with (mainly vibrancy I found an issue - some images didn't bear the muted colours I wanted) but these were easily fixed in photoshop. In their original sizes, some of the images may seem a little lacking in detail - however, the entire time I was aware that most of it would be lost upon shrinking, at one point even having to re-plan the layout of my images to ensure that they weren't shrunk to ridiculous amounts - only one image ended up becoming a full page illustration.
