DPS - First Half

Today I am starting on my double page spread...

 

I thought the red eyes in this photograph made the photo look less professional as in magazines the photographs are perfect, so this is something I made sure I took out. I also coloured the lips in red like I did on my front page; this is to match her lips with the letter 'A' and to link the magazine together as the masthead is red and my model has red lips on the front cover.

 

 

 

 

I decided to play around with the 'A' in the background as it might look better if I edit it. The first thing I did was brighten the letter which softened the redness and made it stand out less; however when I put my model against it I did not like them together, the 'A' looked too soft and did not suite the dominant model.

The next thing I tried was making my model black and white and having the red 'A' in the background; I did not like this either as the red 'A' did not suite the black and white, and I much preferred my models skin tone being shown.
