Photoshop Vampire

Photoshop Vampire
Taking an image of a innocent girl and turning her into a vampire with blood dripping from her mouth is one of the tutorial in photoshop.
In this tutorial I learnt how to use the dodge tool, which gave the skin a deathly grey colour tone to her. After turning the skin grey, we used the burn tool to turn her lips and eyes darker and give an unnatural look to them. To make the fangs we used the free transform on the two teeth to stretch them into fangs, and we then used the blood brush and placed them where you wanted to put them.

My Blink Magazine Cover

My Blink magazine cover
What I tried to create here is a magazine cover through photoshop. The target audience was age 14-19 years old and for people who are are interested in music and the music industry.
I used the colour code cream, pink and blue as it's the stereotypical favourite colours for male and female. I made it eye catching though making the eye-catching photo the main attraction with the head-title of the magazine a contrasting colour to the image so it's stands out and also makes it eye-catching.
I used an images of the right now hot singer/band to make it appealing to the target audience, such as Lawson and "Emma Corbett" with a taste of the juicy gossip, to make the audience want to buy the magazine.
The pose I made Emma do is a side, medium close up shot, to give a sweet innocent look which goes with the style of her music. The quote taken from the interview backs up the innocent image, "I use to only sing in front of my teddy bears".
