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
