Plan your concept: Plan the style or theme of your photo beforehand. It could be a natural scene, urban setting, product or creative portrait photos of people. Imagine how that photo could match with your design concept for the graphics.



Lighting: Lighting is extremely important in photography. Natural light is best, but for studio-controlled shots you will still need artificial lights like softboxes or ring lights. Try to include some shadows and highlights in your design.

Composition: This is another important feature that should be included in the photo. It has rules of thirds, leading lines and framing to make the shot appealing. Space can also be left in your photo to include text or any other graphical elements. photography

Editing: Use image editing tools like Photoshop and Lightroom to make adjustments with the brightness, contrast, saturation or sharpness of your captured photo. Alternatively, overlay graphic design text, add textures or other computer illustrations to your edited photo.

Props. Graphic elements will require props in your photo. For this reason, you can design on aspects such as texture, pattern or any object that may fit a particular theme in the photo and eventually use props in your photo. photography

Pay attention to details. The best detail of any photo is its details. Pay attention to textures, colors or unique patterns that may further appear in the graphic design. photography
