final images and pratice.

this is a practice image that i tried to do in my favourite effect, i think it came out quite well, but it didn't come out as good as i thought it would, and if it is a fashion advert, you can't really see the shoes that much, which it is mainly all about.

these are some of the pictures that i took and have not edited, i like them except that on these shoes they catch small hairs really well, and when i took the picture there was still small hairs on the image, that made the shoes look not nice and dirty, so in future if i am going to take a picture with these shoes, or anything in the same material i shall bring a dog brush to get the hairs off.


i tried lying them down to see how it would look, i still think they personally look dirty and messy, and the bottom of the shoe does not look nice, i do like the reflection coming off the coloured disc onto the bottom off the shoe, 

i like the left shoe, it looks really big and in full attention, i like how they are stood on the lights, and how you can see that in the picture, and i like the flowers covering some of the right shoe.

this is one of my unedited images, but you can still see the small hairs, if it wasn't for the hairs this image would of been awesome.

i then tried to change the extra's to make it look a little different and to see what it looks like, so i tried a close up shot of the necklace, just to give a hint.

i then tried another different thing with the glowing lights, i don't think it came out as well

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

this is my final image that i decided to use, i added some vibrance and some saturation to try and get a different effect, i like how it added colour to the picture, and i then added some writing in the image, i went with sisley becasue i liked there advert picture, i then wrote in smaller letter underneath fashion junkie . . and then i wrote in the top right corner " a dog brush is always a good thing to keep in your bag :} " i thought i would add a little joke in the advert and a bit of the truth to anyone who would want to buy them shoes.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .

fashion advert research

on this picture it shows 3 different outfits, 2 without colour and a really expensive price, and one on the right in colour and from h&m so looking quite cheap in the prices.

i like this one because it just shows the women at a brown faded dead field, and she has a nice tan, and with a nice dress on and a flower thing, it is quite plain but is really good, the downside it that you don't know where it is from, or how much it cost.

i really like this one because the colour of the stairs compared to the colour of the women and her dress, it makes the dress stand out more so you look at her more, the sky makes the dress seem lighter and a nicer colour, i like how they have got a blonde women to wear the dress because the dress is light so it matches her hair.

i like this one because it is showing 2 different things, and one of the same outfit but a little bit different, i like how there is one brown/yellow dress at the right, and there is a women in an orange jacket with a belt, and how on the right side there is a male and a female with matching jackets, and i like how they have the plain background, and how they haven't put writing in this picture because it keeps it looking nice and plain, the down side with that without the writing you can't see how much or where the outfits are from.

i like this because it has a plain background with an close up sort of outfit, and it only has the fashion union writing on it, so they kept it plain and not to overwhelming 

i really like this picture becasue it makes her look tanned and it matches with the outfit, and i like how there is a necklace matching the outfit, i like the style of the writing and where they have placed it. 

i really like this picture because they are showing the bottom where the jeans look best in on the left, and there is a sign on her jeans pocket, and i like the right side because it is then showing of her bracelet and showing all the makeup and the matching tops with the bottoms, i don't like how they mostly have her breasts out on show because it takes the attention away from the clothes.

i like this one becasue it is showing you more then just one outfit so you can see more, and how they have actually famous people in the shots, and i  like how on all of them they have different angles of the people at different times.

i like this picture becasue it isn't messing you around and it is showing off the whole outfit, i like how they have kept a plain background and how there is writing at the top of the picture so it is keeping all your attention on the clothes.

i really like this because it like the background and they have put a darker outfit on the beach, with a tree behind them, and really plain writing next to the top with the prices on, so its not taking the attention away from the outfit.

i think this is a really funny and clever idea for a picture, i like how they have put 2 women on the floor with tubes and there sniffing the top like a drug addict would sniff drugs, i think this is a really clever idea because women are insane about clothes and love clothes to a high level.


theses are some pictures that i got for a fashion advert, and they are bright, showing most of the clothing, with a small amount of writing onto it.
