The original photo is very good, but the composition is too centered, and the expressions of the characters are not highlighted. It would be better if the position of the characters could be at the golden section.

6. The last step is to add the LOGO. Don’t think this step is meaningless. You can see that the adjusted film still feels a bit ordinary at this time, but it will feel different after adding the LOGO on the corner. When in the photo studio, generally Just add some words that have already been designed.
