Type in Context - Image quality and editing.

My images were of quite poor quality due to the fact that I had taken them whilst travelling and was usually walking somewhere when I took the pictures. This resulted in images that were often slightly out of focus and blurry, to far away or not well composed. Also, to easily record and talk about my images whist travelling i uploaded the pictures to Instagram, therefore a lot of my images were square.

Making them square meant I could make up for some of the pictures that were not composed that well by bringing the main components of the image into focus, eradicating parts of the picture that took away from the type in the image.

Another problem i had was that all the pictures were taken on my phone, since it was sunny in Barcelona and Madrid, the images were often quite saturated with yellow light. To rectify this I edited my photos in Photoshop. I adjusted the brightness, contrast and saturation to make the images a little paler and the colours more rounded, that in my opinion made the images nicer to look at.
