The purpose of this was so that any minor flaws or imperfections could be corrected in order to make my images more aesthetically pleasing for the consumer.
I first decided to use the 'spot healing brush tool' to remove any minor imperfections from the face of my model in all images. This gave a smooth, even finish that is more appealing for an image.
Next I decided that it would be appropriate to focus on my magazine cover image.
I had already smoothed out my model's skin and removed any minor imperfections, so I decided to work on a few minor things that were incorrect about the photograph in order to make it better.
White clothing strap visible
I noticed that a white strap from my models clothing underneath the dress was visibile - and that it needed to be fixed so it didn't stand out as much.
I decided to simply use the 'clone stamp tool' and use material from the dress to cover this up.
Here is a before and after of my work:
Eye colour
Part of the reason my model was chosen is because she has striking blue eyes that I thought would stand out on the front of my magazine - attracting my target audience.
I decided to emphasise my model's eyes by enhancing them using Adobe Photoshop, primarily using the 'dodge' tool.
I also perfected her eyeliner and eye-makeup by simply utilizing the 'brush' tools at low opacity in order for her eyes to further stand out within the image.
Here is a before and after image:
Hair colour
From my research I found that the majority of female rock/alterative artists have darker hair - mostly dark brown or black.
My model has mid-brown hair, and so, I decided to see how it would look darker for my images.
I did this using the 'burn' tool in Adobe Photoshop.
Here are my before and after images:
I then decided to position my model on the cover of my magazine in order to see where to place my articles and titles.
This is my finished cover model image:
