Contents Page Evaluation

I am very pleased with how my contents page turned out. It was very easy for me to do it because i know how effectively use photoshop now. I changed the layout a few times because it looked too simple. I then decided to use two pictures instead of one to make it more interesting. The first close up picture is a picture of a famous celebrity make up artist. She i had use a really nice camera on her to make the picture good quality. I also did a lot of editing to her face to make her skin look flawless so that when people who are interested in make up see her on the contents page, they are attracetd to read more on the article. The other picture is of the same famous artist who is on my front cover. Unfortunately the quality of the picture isn't that good comapared to the other ones because of the camera used and the changing of the image size on photoshop. I however managed to make it work because of the colours the colors my model was wearing blend i well with the house style colors. The lighting on the two pictures differs because i took thaem in different settings. The close up was taken in school and the long sht was taken indoors at home. I struggled with choosing what picture too use for my contents page because all the potensial pictures that i had took where dull due to low light. I have learned that i have to make sure the lighting is good enough because trying to increase the lighing on Photoshop will take away form the quality of the picture. Below is an example of how the lighting affated some of the pictures that i could have used.

I could have used this long shot because the colors where
really nice and they would have blended in well with
the housestyle colors but the ligting was too low!

This is how the picture turned out after i attempted to
increase the lighting on photoshop.
