Essentially the format of my contents had changed significantly once my peer feedback had been received as I knew it was now critical for me to occupy the vastly empty space in the right hand corner of the page. To successfully overcome this error it would require me seeking the use of another of my photographs I obtained during the studio shoot to hide the exposed area. Before I could conduct this motion I first had to be positive the quality of the image was substantial before placing it, as I needed for it to appear flawless and superior in the way it personified itself across to the audience, anything other then that and they may refer to it as 'ameaturish' and not of 'professional production'. To avoid this happening I would have to edit it on the adobe photoshop software as seen previously with my black and white photograph.
To start this editing process off, I began by opening a new photoshop document in the tab bar, selected my chosen image from the programme 'Iphoto' where it had been imported to via the external camera hardware and was dragged directly onto the empty page from this point of origin. With it now inserted into Photoshop, the option arose of me given the opportunity to manouver the photograph about until it was correctly situated where I desired it, I did so by moving it slightly to the right so it was centrally parallel with the document.
With what can be identified on all of my previous editing posts, I required my photographs to be of a professional standard, in this instance the colour, brightness and saturation had to be correct to allow them to display as more authentic and glossy appearing, just how we would anticipate to see one in a mainstream magazine. To achieve this look I now had to manipulate the levels preset of my image so it conformed with the required standards I had in place. First protocol involved me selecting the 'levels' option which as always can be located on the right hand photo tool bar on the far corner of the page.
With the levels tool bar now on full view for me to access, I had the options of various different editing styles to select from to alter the image in any way I desired to. Since I was intending on highlighting the background more to bring out the white backdrop more effectively to illuminate my model and so I could enhance the sharp tones on his clothing and face, my preferred course of action was to engage the use of the 'hue' and 'saturation' alternatives.
This is the ultimate portrayal of my model now that the editing process had been undertaken and completed without delay. Although the alterations I conducted are fairly subtle in nature, what has been changed involves areas such as the white background which I stated towards previously. I enhanced its appeal by brightening the overall lighting effect to create a faint 'aura' behind the male model, this gave him the opportunity to appear more dominant and significant in his presence as compared to how he last perceived. I used the same brightness level on the shirt, trousers and face as I personally felt illuminating the already present light rays was an effective method to divert the audiences line of focus solely towards him. The quality additionally appears more flawless then before and I have no issues regarding the possibility of pixillation at all.
Ultimately this is a current update in progress of the development of my contents page - as what can be noted the image of the male model is now correctly situated in the desired area of choice, where he has been positioned not only occupies the blank space I was warned about during my last peer review but accurately draws visual activity towards his loction. Not only has the editing style enabled this to happen, I believe this success also generates from the choice of his placement as it is unconventional in may respects to position a photograph away from the readers main line of vision. yet I cant help but feel they will notice him despite this notion because they will be intrigued as to why he was included there.
