Volleyball

Case Study

Senior banner

I had the opportunity to take Berean Christian Schools’ senior banners. I jump at any chance I have to work with high schoolers. She was so thrilled to have a photographer who would take their time instead of getting through the seniors like an assembly line. This is the final banner mock-up. The background was removed and replaced with a navy background.

We started out simple with her placing her hands on her hips to showcase her number on her jersey.

But something felt missing, so I told her to hold the volleyball out in front of her so it would show off her number.

Then, we switched it up and put the ball on her left hip, showcasing her number and the volleyball.

Next, we tried her hand on her hip without the volleyball; however, it felt like we were missing something. There was not an even balance.

So we added the volleyball back, which created the missing balance. It showed off her number and her sport. This is the final picture she picked for her banner.

So, as you can see, I edited the raw image from before to lighten up her features and touched it up so that it could be turned into a banner.
