Photoshop positives and negatives

In this blog I will be telling you the different aspects of using photoshop for a magazine.
Firstly, photoshop makes images look more attractive and this is better for the audience because it will help sell the magazine. Another positive thing is the woman or man themselves will feel better because they think they look better than they really do.
Some disadvantages when people see an unrealistic image of the man/woman, it can have a negative impact on how people see them in the real world. Another one is, it could have a negative impact on the man/woman because their face and body is being messed around with to look better. It also gives fans an unrealistic goal to look like that person on the front of the magazine.

Photoshop

I used Adobe Photoshop for the first time today. I know i will have to use this a lot more so I will have to start getting used to it. I found it very hard to make this image of Susan Boyle and 50 Cent. I think the picture looks very bad but for my first attempt on Adobe photoshop I am very happy. This image took me about an hour to make.

Music magazines all over the world use Photoshop to edit their images from the front cover to make the celebrity look better and more attractive to the audience. Their are more advantages of using Photoshop like...

• Makes the image stand out more
• Makes the background look better
• Makes skin, eyes, hair, jaw line, body look better
• Helps sell the magazine

and there are many more.  


There are also many disadvantages of using photoshop on a music magazine. They are...

• Setting false goals to younger people. E.g. if they see their role model on the front of the magazine looking very thin then they would want to starve themselves.
• It would make the person on the front cover feel bad because after all their hard work of dieting and wanting to look good, it still isn't good enough.
• The image is false so people will be buying the magazine that is basically lies.
• Sometimes the image looks too unrealistic

                                                                                                                  

Magazine terminology analysis

From the two magazine covers I can see that they have the same kind of terminology but they are totally diiferent covers that are aimed at different types of audience. I will start off with the similaraties of the two music magazines. Firstly they both have a Masthead. It is important for music magazines to have this so the reader can recognise what type of magazine they are buying. Secondly a main image of the artsts are on the front covers to show what the main story is about (Drake and Rihanna). The main images are a lot larger than the others to show they are the dominate force.

The differences are the genres between the two magazines. This means they are aimed at different sexes and audiences. They both have different artists on the front cover to show the reader who the magazine will be about. The main colours of the magazines are totally different. The Drake front cover is dark and shows the reader that they need to be a older age to read it. The Rihanna is bright and colourful and shows that anyone can read it but I think it is aimed at young teenage girls.
