How people manipulated photography before photoshop

I decided this weeks blog should be about photoshop since our homework was manipulating a photo in photoshop. I stumbled upon this article about how people used to manipulate photography before photoshop was created! it is such an interesting thing to see how people used to do their creativity before all the nice programs helped us find an easier route.

here are just a few i had seen in the article.

Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before PhotoshopFaking It: Manipulated Photography Before PhotoshopFaking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop MOMA; back in 2012 showed an exhibit showing photos that were manipulated before photoshop was ever invented. The host of this exhibit was none other than Adobe. The exhibition was the first to ever be devoted to doctored photography. Anywhere from hand painted, salt prints of the 1840s to pre-digital dreamscapes of the twentieth century.

The New International Poster Master: Felix Pfäffli

felix1
I chose this article because Felix Pfäffli uses minimum amount of tools at his disposal, he uses mainly type and color for his designs.
felix3my favorite of his designs is the "Mono Tales" poster, i love the way he made the poster look folded. The color was a great choice as well. The movement Felix uses in his work, keeps your eyes moving but youre never distracted by one specific thing.
