I took a picture of the Plaques in Kauke hall on the second floor. I just thought it would make a good cover page of something people would want to read because they seem like important plaques. I made one version darker and cropped it closer to focus more on the plaques. For the second version I showed more of the wall and made it brighter to show the surroundings as well.
I think both versions show how editing can change the way people see the same picture. The first one can feel more serious and focuses on achievement while the second one shows the plaques as just something IN the photo.
