Six Word Memoirs #8

 

  This is by far my favourite six word memoir that I have done, I love the colours in the photo, the colour of my dress, and just the pose of the picture. There is a photo credit, it is in the top right hand corner but it is immensely hard to see, photo credit: KNott, Created by: KNott, http://kaitlynscwb.blogspot.ca

  I chose this photo to go with my memoir because it is me with my best friend, who is also my boyfriend, when I wrote this memoir this was the first picture that came to mind because it fit so perfectly with the memoir. I loved the scenery in this image and I believe it was just perfect.

 I use many editing techniques on this photo to get it to exactly the way I had wanted it. At first I made the picture black and white, just to see if I liked it. It didn't look terrible, but I wanted to see the colour in my dress, and the colour in front of us. I made the two of us in the picture in colour so it made the picture much brighter. I cropped the photo so we were the focal point, and the trees on the sides of the photo were gone. I brightened the picture, because we were in the shade so it was a little dark. I also enhanced the image which I thought was the perfect finishing touch. I chose the punctuation to enhance my photo, I chose the comma so it had a pause in the sentence, and made the sentence flow better. I used dots at the end of the photo because I thought it made it show that this was not the end of the sentence, that I have so much more to say that does not just fit in my six words! I chose the font that is hand writing like because I thought it looked elegant and I believe it looked awesome in the picture. I chose the font to be black because I wanted it to be simple and not take away from the picture. Lastly I placed the font there so it was visible in the photo, but the photo was still the focal point, because, after all a picture says a thousand words.
