Self Potrait

 

a) What were you trying to express and
how did you achieve this?

I was trying to express a more emotional side of me. I based my potrait on fear of rejection.Nobody likes to be rejected wether it be from a job or a boy. I showed this emotion bya potrait of an tear drop falling into the word REJECTION.

 
b) What filters did you use and where?

I used the distort filters for the words.  I also used the smudge stick and the blur effect from the artictic filters on the back ground and various different parts.

b) What layer blending mode did you use and where?

I used the hard light on the eye image to give it a better effect and I used an overlay on the puddle of water to enhance its effect to.
c) What special brush did you use and where?

I used the Azalea brush on the background of the image to give it  a softer touch to the image.

Magazine Cover

a) What qualities of your magazine cover make it effective? (eg. What makes it eye catching?, What about it promotes curiosity?, How is it visually pleasing?, What makes it easy to understand?)

There are many different qualities I used in my magazine cover to make it more effective andrealistic. First the large colourful fonts I used really helped. Making them different sizes and using colour that goes with the theme of my cover helped. The fact that I used a picture of myself makes it visually pleasing.. (LOL). I tried my best to make it look realistic by using the same format as a real magazine cover catching the reader’s attention. The large headlines makes it easier for readers to understand my magazine cover and get the concept of what would actually be inside of it.

b) What was the order of hierarchy you were trying to achieve for the elements on your magazine cover?

The order of hierarchy that I was trying to achieve for the elements on my magazine cover are:

1) ME!.. My cover picture

2)  Cosmo Girl Logo

3).”387 WAYS TO MAKE HIM FALL FOR YOU”–Secondary story line

4). Hoden Haji “Her first year at W.H.C.I and how shes surving so far”–Featured story
