TAMARA AKOTUAH: Ancillary products - PLANNING - Finished product

Below is a picture of the ORIGINAL image before I edited it at all


How I have edited it:
>Removed spots and blemishes
>Change the Hue and saturation
>emphasised her eye colour
> Added a pinky redy undertone to suit my colour scheme
>Changed the lip colour
>Whitened teeth.

Below is a picture of the EDITED image



I believe it is important to keep in with my colour scheme and therefore used the 'magnetic losso' tool in Photoshop  which changed the colour of my artists lips to red. I found it particularly stressful using this tool because once you had moved or selected the wrong part of your artists lips, you have to re select the whole thing. i found this very time consuming. 

I decided to create spots on my digipak as it ties in with the music videos graphic motif of the 
-traffic lights
-necklace
-lights in the night

Planning- mock-up advertisement comparison



Below are examples of magazine advertisements in this format:

Planning- Mock-up Of Digipak and Advertisement




I will be using these colours below for the ancillary work. I got the color of the metalic grey from the jewellery, and the background railings of the stairs in box park. The grey represents the urban setting. The use of the color rosey red is from the artists lip color, the red love heart that occurs in our video when she is singing behind the gate. I got the colour black from the leather jacket, and the outside cages of the shops in the box park. The color white is from her top she is wearing in the box park, and the white light depicted in the music video.



FEEDBACK FROM THE MOCKUP

Louisa - told me to change my A4 portrait to A5 Landscape, because it will be more conventional of advertisements.
Rebbecca- told me that the A5 landscape portrait will be better as it separates the image from the text, whereas in the A4 portrait it will be harder to include text.
Louisa - said it was good, and I could include a teaser advertisement as well.
Rebbeca said it was FANTASTIC!!
