photoshop

This was my first taste of what i did on photoshop, i choose to advertise a perfume and used examples from google and the portal to achieve my advertisement the thing that worked well was the fact a managed to layer the pics in the right order and that the text s bright and stands out which is what i wanted to achieve.

The thing that didn't work so well was; i couldn't get rid of the white background very well leaving a white border around the angel i also couldn't get rid of the text that is above the angel although i new how to do it in the end i didn't have enough time to finish it seems though the lesson ended.
the image shows the full body fro m a side on angle. the model is not looking at the camera. the picture as well as showing the model also shows the background of the college. the image is bright and doesn't show any darkness that would affect the photograph. The picture does not advertise the college it doesn't show much of what the college has or what it has to offer. there isn't much variety in the photograph as it only shows one model in the picture.




this picture is good quality as it shows the viewer that the students are hard working. It shows what the college has to offer in tems of what they can use for their work. the picture does advertise facilities at the college and what they have to offer. the picture is lanscape so the picture can show more of what is in the picture. It also shows the diffrent typesd of people at the college weather they are tall or short have diffrent fashion styles and other things in which deffines a persons identety.








this picture also shows good features of the college, but not in a working enviroment. This picture more shows of what a student does when he/she does not have any lessons weather that be socialising with freinds having something to eat or drink, or getting a head start on home work which they have been given or to study for upcoming exams. The picture is taken from a high suspective making the models in the picture look weak and vunreble.
