Spot Colour

Spot colour is a type of photography where one colour stands out from the rest, usually one item in colour whilst the rest of the photograph is in black and white. This image is an example of spot colour done naturally without photoshop. It’s done by composing the image so there is a majority of one colour and a minority of another, which then stands out  This image is an example of spot colour done in photoshop. The purple writing is it’s original colour, but the rest of the image is in black and white. You select the area or item that you wish to stand out and remove to a different layer. Then by going Image>Adjustments>black and white, I changed the layers colouring. Then I matched the writing up with its original position and merged the layers, creating a spot colour image.
