Manipulation of images.

At first, I made sure the photo's levels were done right, as if they weren't, the photo would look weird and the lighting wouldn't look good. I changed the blacks slightly, to make the image a bit darker than it was as it was too bright.

The next thing I did was select the 'spot healing brush tool' to select any imperfections as the person on the front of a magazine always has clear skin to promote their magazine and make it look as good as possible.

All my images for front cover.

This image didn't work because the light on her face was too bright.

This image is a bit too plain and boring.

I tried getting images for features on my front page in this way as this looks fun, but the timing wouldn't work, and it doesn't look very good.

I tried this pose as I had seen it done on Top of The Pops magazine, but I don't think it works very well as it is too 'posey'.

This photo was just an experiment and looks rubbish because there is no real thought behind it.

On these image, I used a fan to try make the artist's hair float around her head. This didn't work because there wasn't enough wind and also her facial expressions look weird because of the force on her and how uncomfortable it was.

These images are too basic.

I tried to make these images look fun and interesting, but I don't think they would really be suitable for a magazine.

These images weren't as good as the ones where the artist is wearing a black blazer, because the focus is taken off the artist as what she is wearing takes the focus.

The lighting didn't work on these; they turned out orange.

The lighting on these images went too dark and look dull.

You can't see her face in this one, so doesn't work.

I tried using depth of field in an image to create blur in the background, with the focus on the artist. Again, this didn't work because of the clothing and it looks more like a poster than a front cover image.
