Before After
Image With The Brand Logo & Product
The Image on the top left shows the final image that is a raw file and has not been edited. After showing the final brand images to my tutor, I was really pleased with the feedback I got as I found it really helpful. There were a few things I had to work on during post production. I was told to tidy up the eyebrows, as seen in the image the right eyebrow looks untidy and is just going everywhere. I was told to either change the background colour or the colour on the lips eyes and nails. This is because they all have the same shade of pink and it all just camouflages in. I also have to smooth the skin and work on the nails as I model smudged her nails.
From all the feedback I got from my tutor, I went on and worked on the image in postproduction. The image on the top left hand side shows the edited image. I changed the background colour to a baby pink colour as I thought this gives the mage a more cute look and it makes the model's face stand out more. I did this in camera raw by applying a mask to the bits of paper around the model by changing the hue and saturation. I used frequency separation to smooth the skin overall and used the clone tool to get rid of any blemishes and uneven tones in the skin.
I also used the clone tool to smooth out the nails and the cuticle area, as they were quite messy. Using the lasso tool I drew around the eyebrow and selected the area that I wanted. I then copy pasted this, right clicked on the other brow that was messy and clicked transform and flip horizontal. This flipped the area of the left eyebrow that I selected over the right eyebrow. At first this looked a little weird as it looked like I just placed it on top. However, after blending it in with the original right brow the finished outcome does not look that bad.
The image at the bottom shows how it would look in indesign with the brand logo and the product. As the colour of the lipstick in the template was red, I had to change the colour of the lipstick to match the colour on the model's lips. I did this in photoshop by selecting only the reds tab while changing the hue and saturation to the colour that I wanted. However, looking at the image with the brand logo and the product it just didn't look right to me. During my next tutorial with my tutor, I wanted to ask her wether it was necessary to have the product in the brand image as I preferred it without the product.
