The images shown depict that getting away to warmer weather or being able to wear clothing for a warm- beach-based location would be an ideal location for a vacation. As it is targeted to the audience of those who are travelers or who want to take a get a way trip, these pictures are appropriate to the blogs.
I had gotten my images from StockFreeImages.com, a site that allows free downloads of pictures or images legally without necessarily having to credit them. If you search up Creative Commons, this is one of the sites that come up in the search.
Based on Manovich’s article, I used Adobe Photoshop as a software to be able to create a multi-layer image to either edit, create, remix, organize, experience or share with this contemporary media form. With the technology of having the ability to create digital media or customize/design digital photos, you can change the artwork frame of the multi layer image and possibly skewing the perspective of the audience when looking at it edited compared to the original. With the software of Photoshop, you are able to render the image with the variety of the software techniques, that can assist stimulate the tools used via a step by step process to produce your desired affect (Manovich, pg 5.)
While our production process allows us to edit or render our images in multiple ways at a time as well as the uses of multiple tools, the single-layer bitmap image that Davison describes is quite different, as the most common means of displaying the artwork was through CRT (cathode ray tube) in the1980s, which only limited a single electron beam to draw the images on the screen in a slower and not as advanced process compared to our technology today. (Davidson, pg 5).
