Experimenting With Final Image

This specific image of the artist was the final image chosen to be displayed on my digipak cover and advertisement. I then decided to edit my image in photoshop to help the image attain its full appeal, glamour and attraction. I started by removing the background, making the image achieve a proffesional status. I then begun to air-brush my image by removing any blemishes, spots or an un-even skin tone. This, straight away would assure that the image would not only appear very proffessional but also help the singer attain a flawless and glamorous look. I also went on to increase the lighting and the contrast of the image to help it become more bold, prominent and also stand-out amongst other digipak's. As you can see, there are four images above, all the same yet in different colour tones, one black and white and three with a red, yellow and green overtone. I wanted to experiment with this image to ensure the one I chose would be the better option. I feel black and white images are powerful images in their own state yet for this particular digipak, I feel one in colour would best represent and support the artist and themes. I changed the colour of the artist's eyes in the image because I felt it would dramatically improve the image. I personally feel that people first become drawn and attracted to people's eyes in particular so I wanted to improve on this aspect and make them appear enhanced. I then decided to choose, the first image as I feel it displays colour, attraction and glamour, yet also appears quite angel-like. (Bottom Image) I then went on to develop and edit the image further. The image has been retouched and brightened to maintain an angel-like appearance. Also, you will be able to see that I have begun to complete the digipak cover by adding the desired text.
