I am soooo excited to talk about what I did today!! So, since I am creating a beauty/makeup magazine, I decided to create an ad, since that is a typical genre convention of beauty magazines. The process was so much fun and I documented almost all of it.
I hadn't planned on creating my ad today, but I'm so happy that I did. My day started off with my best friend coming over because we were going to both work on our homework together. I was having trouble deciding on what to write for my Saturday blog post when the idea just popped into my head. I had so much free time and I had someone to photograph, it was meant to be!
The first thing I did was figure out what my ad was going to be for. I went through my makeup and beauty products collection to see if anything could be used that wasn't branded. After looking everywhere, I found a perfume bottle that I had previously torn the label off of, it was perfect!!
Next I had to figure out what my best friend, Hannah, was going to wear. I wanted her to look elegant, yet effortless. I soon found this forest green velvet blazer and it looked amazing!!
I decided that it would look cool if the pictures were taken on a bed with a lot of natural lighting. So, this is the little scene that I set up. I used my mom's studio lights and took off the umbrellas because they blocked too much of the natural sunlight from the windows.
I took many different photos of many different poses and angles. After about an hour of photographing Hannah, I finally thought I had enough good ones to choose from. I narrowed down all of the pictures that I took to 6 ones that I loved. I then sat back and Hannah and I decided which one looked the best. Finally, we decided on this one.
After choosing this photo, it was time to edit it. I was thinking about editing on Photoshop and Lightroom, but I then changed my mind and decided to just edit on my phone. I decided to do this since I am more comfortable with the apps on my phone and I think the editing still looks great.
I first edited Hannah's face on an app called Airbrush which has all of the functions you would need to edit a picture. After I used that app, I then edited the color of the image with an app called VSCO. Once I was done editing the picture, I opened it up in Canva so that I could write on the picture. I decided to call the perfume Soleil which means sun in French. So, I typed that on the image, and I was done! Here is the final product!!
I love it so much and I think it is going to look great in my magazine!
So until next time!
XOXO, Sophie
