So nice to see you again, my friends. In this entry, I will show you my little work about Photoshop image editing. My work is just a few thing of technical but the important thing is the idea and art analysis.
I found an image of a model on website so I think this is the cover of a magazine or something like that (this thing is not important). I have a strong feeling about this photo and want to analyse the art in this photo. The picture below is the cover of a magazine:
You can see that the model in this photo is really "kool" and you can easily image that the original photo with the model only is enough nice. But I want everyone focus on the layout of the picture.
Firstly is the arrangement of text in the photo. It begins from the text "...Success Stories" to the website address "MAGMYPIC.COM". The putting of text looks like a big letter "C". This kind of the arrangement bring a good effect for the cover. Text is put in order and follow the curve of the model. The text did not hide the model, it just fill in the blank of the photo.
The pressed point in the picture is the black space in the left right conner. The cover will be bored without this shape. It emphasizes the picture and makes it look more manly and mystery. In addition, the black fog space around the photo except the right side makes this cover deeper and thicker look like it has a light from the right comes to the left.
Text style in the photo is total right. It is easy to make, it is simple but high in effect. The warm color was used and the most significant point is the number "20" with a white outside border. The border is clearer when it is in the black space. Once again, details is deeper. Every work is simple but the art effect is really high.
After analysing this photo, I tried to make my own picture with the model is...me. I took a photo with happy style (I can not try to be "kool" as the model) and edited follow the style of the magazine cover and it looks like this:
Please don't laugh, I just tried to...practice a little bit. Base on the style of the magazine cover, I edit my photo to become interesting. Almost text style and color was kept and the black space was "moved" to the right conner. Those thing can be easely done by using Text Tool and Rectangle Tool with adjustment of effects in Blending Options . The original photo's background color was removed (or changed to grayscale). To do this thing, History Brush Tool was used. Firstly, the whole picture was changed to grayscale by doing Image > Adjustment > Hue/Saturation > drag Hue and Saturation to minimum. Then, using History Brush Tool to "redo" the effect in the model space.
Adding a fake website address below make the photo more professional. Do you see the white word "De" and "sign"???
Finally, a dark fog space borders the the photo make it higher in depth. The photo will not "flat" but has a depth so it looks like a real magazine.
I feel total happy with this work, I think that you can try to do like me: finding some designs, analyse them and make something by your own. Just learning about the idea, do not copy it.
Thanks for joining this entry.
