Alright, here is my first attempt at a visual assignment.  For my first visual assignment, I’m choosing to do this one.  We are to pick a photo, apply a vintage effect and then add some Helvetica font to the photo.  This one actually took me a little bit of time because I wanted to find a good website to edit photos online.  After some Googling, I ran across this website called Pixlr.  This site is absolutely amazing for editing photos and not having to download any software.  I highly recommend it for any of these Visual Assignments that we have to do this semester.  This is definitely a gem, guys.  You can upload photos for free and then edit them right in your browser and then save the file in whatever format you would like.

Okay, so I had to definitely put some thought behind this one.  I went to Cirque du Soleil a couple weekends ago with my girlfriend and managed to snap this picture. When I was flipping through my photos on trying to decide which one to choose, I ran across this and immediately just thought of trusting someone with your life.  In this instance, the guy swinging from the pole is trusting everything that he has in the person holding him to not drop him.  I couldn’t have found a more amazing photo to make vintage and add text to.  I think my selection of “Put trust in others.” is perfect for this occasion too.

I hope you guys like my photo/effect/text as much as I have!  I’m going to definitely be keeping this one as one of my favorites for sure.  Also, you can view the full picture on my Flickr site
