BIG ISSUE cover

BIG ISSUE

I created a Big Issue cover, which is relevant to today's society - using Adobe Photoshop. I used the celebrity of Amanda Seyfried, as she is starring in the upcoming film of the Housemaid, which came out on Boxing Day 2025. This means that I am reflecting the social zeitgeist within my product, it also means that my audience - who are culturally aware - will understand the references and gain gratification.I chose a red background as it connotes danger and creates a sense of alarm in the audience and this also links to Amanda's character who she played in The Housemaid. I used this task to practice my Photoshop skills and I think it really helped me to work on the text / layout aspect of photoshop.

Beauty Advert

 

BEUATY ADVERT

I created a beauty advert for a Gucci Perfume bottle using Adobe photoshop. I decided to use a pink, feminine colour scheme as the target demographic for the product itself is towards women (and pink is stereotypically seen as a feminine colour). I also used cut outs of different flowers as I wanted to almost create the idea that the perfume is coming out of the bottle – perhaps hinting that the scent is out of this world.  I also featured the logo of the Gucci brand to make the advert simple and recognisible for my audience, connoting the idea of value transference.

  SHSG ADVERT

I made a Print Advert for my school sixth form. I worked using Photoshop, along with practicing my physical skills of photography – as we used cameras to take the photos. These skills will be beneficial when it comes to doing my NEA. I created a collage type advert as I thought that it would be the most appealing for my target audience. I also used a teal colour for the middle layer as it complimented the school colours of green and red (on the logo).
