Font style

I picked a scenery from Niagara Falls. I used the type mask tool then added a layer and changed the background and then I used satin and outer depth for the words to make them pop more. I used a red background to make reading the words easier.

Composition Shoot

Before Use the Whole Space

 

                                     

After

I changed it to black and white and then changed color hues to make certain objects pop out.

 Before Run Off of Three Or More Edges

 After

I cut the pole out and added brightness and a hue of blue. Then I cut Lauren out and made her lighter. Followed by the background which I gave a yellowish red hue. I made them all different to add layer and contrast.

Before A Variety of Shape and Sizes

After

I made it darker and added a purple photo filter to take away from the reflection so you can see the shape and sizes more. Also a hint of blue because blue just makes the whole picture stand out.

Before Repeat Shapes

After

I brought the brightness down and the contrast up to help see the bottles more and not the glass. Then I changed the vibrance and saturation to make the bottles look more apparent.

Before Focal Point

After

I completely changed the picture to an invert because I thought that the colors on the original one didn't make it have a focal point. So I cut out the chandelier to make it a little darker so it is different from the whole picture but not so different that it doesn't look apart of the picture. 

Before Overlap To Create Depth

After

Since the picture is blurry I wanted to changed it to black and white so it looks blended more so than blurry. I then changed color saturation to make certain things darker so it looks overlapping.

Before S-Curve

After

I cut out her pants and made them many shades bluer. Then I cut out the background to make it black and white so she can be the main focus of the picture. Then I cut out her hair and made that darker so it balanced her out.

Before Make the Negative Space Interesting

After

I had to make the legs of the chairs stand out in a way so I added brightness and a lot of contrast. To make the chairs more apparent I added a blue hint.

Before Rule of Thirds

After

I had to crop it in order to have thirds. Added brightness and contrast and a reder hue along with a color balance of yellow, but just a little bit of yellow.

  My take on this picture is Darth Vadar doing a skin commercial. I find skin care products to be very false. You always have to have a certain kind of skin for the product to even work. Even then it might not do the job all the way through because in truth, I may never look like that model in the picture because I bet she doesn't even use the product constantly. Also, SHE IS PHOTOSHOPPED! It doesn't get anymore fake than that.

 

   When I saw this add I couldn't help myself to also give it a little slap stick comedy. Then my mind went back to the old star wars and when Darth Vadar reveals hmself to Luke and I though man was he pale. And since being tan and having smooth skin is the beautiful thing I had to get something completely opposite. A pale and wrinkley old man. I do have to say, he can model.

  I also like the idea that he looks really creepy like a drug addict, only once haha. Usually in ads they like to use young, warm, inviting girls to bring the viewer into buying their products. They don't want to scare them away and this ad does exactly that. This picture would defently be unexpected if someone turned the page and saw his face for a skin ad.

  This is just purely for humor haha. But there's also the fact that I used a pig instead of an old man. Since Old Spice wants to attract men in this ad using an attractive woman. I thought why not attract the men for what some of them really are, pigs. Sure sex sells but to what I feel like the ad is doing, degrading women. Sure the text is funny and it put a smile on my face but it is a woman eating ice cream! It would be like her just standing there in a bikini rubbed in oil.  

 

  I also thought of someone eating ice cream in general. Icecream is fattening and today we are trying to get America healthy. If they eat grossly they are know as a pig. "you eat like a pig." People say this to tell someone keep your mouth shut and slow down. Also nothing could make this better than having the pig be in a pink bonnet because that shows that it is a girl pig. So when they say woman or she in the ad, the audience knows it is the pig.
