Corn Exchange

With this series i wanted to address the current issue of the Corn Exchange in Leeds and it's conversion into a food emporium. I have tried to express my love for the corn exchange using bright colours and emphasing the buildings unique architecture. Skulls feature in one of the images to express my, as well as a large proportion of the publics, disapproval and protest towards the change.

These images were all created using techniques described earlier such as Threshold, Selecting Shadows and Highlights .

I am not entirely sure whether text works with this images as they are already quite complex. Text seems to make them look a bit chaotic.








The turquoise image to the left was done by selecting the midtones and changing the colour using Hue/Saturation.I tried the same liquify technique in the image above. It works slightly better as it is layered behind the main focus of the image and therefore just looks like random colour.
