With my picture, I wanted to convey the feelings of stress and exhaustion. I tried to make the picture dark to reinforce the feeling of feeling exhausted and used only a few replications with differing opacities to get a look similar to your vision when you’re fatigued. To really make the replications stand out, I pasted an effect from Illustrator over the image. That effect was the contrasting white space which covers the arm and some of the face. I also added some grain and ripple effect to try give that worn out feel. I also wanted to picture to focus heavily on me, so I made sure to put myself in the center of the photograph and cover one eye to draw attention to the face.
