Test Shots

I first took the image and then decided to edit it to see which effect worked best for the coat and made it look more comfy and suitable for winter. I decided to just increase the contrast and shadows on the first one, By doing this i made the coats texture look more prominant, However I didnt edit it too much as I didnt want it to look too dark and unappealing. The seconda image was then edited to increase the brightness and warmth therefore it would make it look more bright and cosy, Which is what I want however as a consequence the editing makes the coat look a bit too bright and makes it look cheaper, Therefore if I was to use this edit then I would have to make sure that I dont make the brightness too high. I then tested the image in black and white, by doing this it fits in with my colour scheme however it also makes the coat look very high fashion, where as its from a highstreet shop.

 

These test shots turned out really well and have really helped with the progress of my magazine and the type of editing I want to use. After looking at all the images I have decided to make the editing subtle yet it need to improve the garment to make it appealing to the customer/reader.

As part of my earlier research and planning I was asked to reconstruct a magazine front cover, the image i used for this was of the same person and she was wearing another winter appropriate coat, This is also another test image which includes a item of clothing which could be used in my magazine. I went through the same process with these images, and edited them the same as the ones above.
