PRELIM TASK:Photograph Manipulation

Here is my cover photo being manipulated. When I first started to design my front cover, I noticed that my image was a little dark and a shadow was visible behind the model. To fix that, I went on blending options and chose a variety of different things to fix my background colour and lighting. The thin layer, I made a little lighter and the underlying layer I had to change quite a lot to make my model the main focus of the cover. On the other hand, I decided to keep the model's shadow in the background as I thought it added an interesting effect to the magazine and model herself. I tested the lighting by using the drag bar to create the perfect lighting. When I made it too light, the folder in the model's hand was starting to fade away as well as the model's face. When I made it too dark, the model's complexion was completely changed and it almost added an over layer onto the cover which wasn't a good idea. Therefore, I changed the lighting just a little bit so that it would make the cover brighter, stand out and eye-catching.
