Front Cover Draft 1 w/ Positive/Negative Peer Feedback

Positive:

1. Good image with shadow.
2. Image looks good with guitar.
3. The image is good.

Negative:

1. Rub out background near hair properly.
2. Skin looks too edited.
3. It doesn't look real with the hair.
4. The font style needs to change.
5. It doesn't look real.
6. Keep looking at existing mags.
7. Price.
8. Date.

I had quite vague positive feedback, as was some of my negative feedback, but other parts I already knew after going over it myself (Price, Date, Hair background). I don't think I really learned anything to work on from this feedback, other than what I already knew.

Photoshop Testing and Experimenting

This was the original Image that we were given to test and experiment on.

This was my finished product after our lesson of testing and experimenting in Photoshop.

Mastheads

This is the start of my Masthead

This is my second Masthead

This is my third Masthead

I then combined both of my third and fourth Mastheads

Test Photoshoot (Unedited)

This is the first of my test photoshoots:

This one is quite bad, as I managed to catch the overhead light in, so maybe I should have had my model step forward more.

I don't really like this photo because I've caught the glare of the the overhead light again.

This one is no good because I must have moved slightly as I took the photo.

Again, I managed to catch the overhead light.

While I managed to catch the glare of the overhead light again, I think it gives him quite an angelic light above and behind him.

I managed to catch the top above the blank paper, but it could be edited out, so it isn't a complete loss.

This picture is too yellow unfortunately, as it is a good picture otherwise.

Again managed to catch the glare of the top light, which may be able to be edited out, but it may not be able to be.

On this one, it looks like he has a black eye on his left eye.

Again, this photo turned out yellow, so this is no good.

The backdrop paper is crumpled here, which could be used, but it wouldn't be able to be Photoshopped out without a lot of hassle. 

I got all the chairs and tables in the background, so, obviously, this picture is no good to use as it has the combination of the chairs and tables, and the white backdrop paper. If I just had one or the other, then it would be better.
