QUESTIONS

            1.) What differences do you see?

The differences that I see are; she is more tan, her body is made to be balanced-in other words, her arm is too thin on the first picture, but in the second, it is proportional, her clothes are darkened, and lastly, her collarbone is being highlighted.
2.)  Why do you think they made those changes? I think they made these changes so she can look more “attractive” on the magazine.
3.)  Are the changes to Faith Hill's photo necessary to sell more magazines? I don’t think it’s really necessary because she looks “attractive” before those changes were added to her. However, it depends on what society finds attractive in order for them to really adjust these changes in a certain picture.
4.)  What do you think about this very common practice of using photoshop to manipulate photos for this reason? I don’t think the common practice of using photoshop to manipulate photos for this reason is a good reason because society, especially girls, are being negatively impacted when being introduced to these “perfect” looking photos. Uneducated young girls (teenagers mostly) won’t notice that 99.9% of these photos are photoshopped and fake. And so they’ll try to manipulate what these faces are “doing” to their photos to look more attractive, in which, is not possible, because they are computer-generated pictures. And this will corrupt society and change the definition of true beauty.
5.)  What are the positive effects and what are the negative effects?

Positive effects of these photos: the girl might look slightly more attractive in the second picture, almost looking “perfect”. Negative effects: Young (uneducated) girls will try to be as attractive as her (which is not possible because she is computer-generated) and loose weight, put make up at an early age.. etc. When they get skinny, it becomes a habit of not eating properly and/or regularly and this will affect their health dramatically.

Megan Fox Sketch

The areas that worked mostly for me was when I traced and retraced my drawing. Paint-brush coloring wasn't difficult to do, neither was bucket painting, however, I have done one layer for the whole drawing and so, this caused all my coloring and drawing to get lost. This was the most advanced part for me.

Album Cover

Album Covers

 

The reason why I am attracted to this album is because of its unique and mysterious design that catches my attention completely. The black and white contrast adds to the very strange theme to this album.

This album targets very vintage and classic colors and designs. I also am attracted to the message they portrayed on the album, "For Those About To Rock" as well as the plain theme it has to it.

This album is very appealing for the eyes because of its extreme consistency of color and imagination. I am pleased with this album because it symbolizes my artistic mind. Additionally, its bright colors catch my attention.

I really like this album cover of "The Killers" because of its very simple stance. It seems as if the lady and the deer in the picture are waiting for nothing, or in other words, hopeless. I like the carved walls, it makes it look very vintage and old.

I like this album cover because it looks very vintage and antique. I like the natural view on the background, it makes the theme seem more emotional rather than thinking and logical.

 The color scheme gives it a warm theme that makes the audience feel more secure. The vivid colors portrays the design

I like this album cover because if its simple and direct idea that "Coldplay" is trying to aim to their listeners. It seems as if the album consists of deep thoughts and understanding. 

I truly like style of this album because of its lack of color and considerable amount of pictures which portrays the album as a vintage and exciting cover.
