In this week’s assignment we were tasked with taking a food item, or beverage in this case, and editing it to become aesthetically pleasing. For this specific assignment I chose to go the simple route and do basic photo editing, as someone who is not a photographer and/or in the visual media program here at SCCA. This is not my strong suit but it seemed like the approach that made the most sense. I simply used photoshop to touch up any of the latte art that had any imperfections, specifically using the clone stamp tool to fix the top heart in the latte. Then I used a quick selection tool to separate the latte from the background, added some noise, blur and color overlay to the background and added a slight contrast boost to the latte. Finalized some small details with the mask tool and was happy with how it turned out.
