Photo Editing Blog Post

-



In these two pictures, the first one is the unedited picture, the second one is "in the process" of being edited, and the second one is after I edited it. I not only added a depth of field effect using the iPhone XS's Portrait Mode, but I also corrected the lighting by adding a "Studio Light effect" (That's the name of the effect on the iPhone, and can be seen in the 2nd picture).  Like this, you can see more of the actual setting/background itself and is more luminant. On the TOC and Feature Spread page for one or two of the Rolling Stones' magazines, it also had this effect and also had a depth of field edit/blur to it, so that's why I did it here. I added a depth of field blur effect to emphasize a focus on the discs in front of the camera, and then the plants in the background, etc. were not in focus because it is not what I am aiming to represent in these photos.



For the Anuel AA and Karol G digital renderings I am doing, I put this whole series of pictures, showcasing the process of my drawings of famous latin artists Anuel AA and Karol G, and then the finished product at the end. For this whole process, some editing tools I used are Photoshop's brush tool (to paint), paint bucket tool (to paint some parts faster), eyedropper tool (to take colors from the original picture so it can be more "authentic"), and the threshold (to help in discerning differences and some issues when coloring.) I used this video to learn the process of tracing an image: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRjUKijmlQM

As I have said before, one of the Rolling Stones magazines which I researched had a similar cartoon drawing on the cover so I used it for my magazine as well, since the concept is interesting to me.

Magazine Genre Codes and Conventions Research Project (Cover)

-

 To commence, I chose Rolling Stone magazine, since it was in the same genre as what I plan to make my magazine on (Music Genre). I will be comparing 3 different covers from Rolling Stone today, and will be taking a look at the different aspects of these covers and the codes/conventions that Rolling Stone utilizes to make their magazine truly theirs. My own magazine that I have planned is not that different from Rolling Stone, the only difference being that Rolling Stone not only has artists from a wide variety of genres, but also talks about different topics, like politic, while my magazine will focus exclusively on Hispanic artists and will not venture out into different topics other than music and possibly their lives, so my magazine will resemble the Jack White Rolling Stone Cover (picture above) the most out of the three.  Now, I will discuss basic codes and conventions for Rolling Stone and will be focusing on these 3 magazines. One thing I notice that is consi

Mood Board Reflection/Written Explanation

(Sorry for the glare from the light on the left-hand side) To commence, for my mood board, I incorporated things such as artists from the modern era (A$AP Rocky), as well as some from an older era (Elton John, Stevie Wonder, etc.) and also made sure to have a variety of different instruments in order to grasp the concept and connect the main idea for my mood board: The Fine Arts. Specifically, I focused on music and its many aspects. Personally, I would've included more artists, but I didn't have their pictures. I used flashy colors in order to depict what typically music is. For instance, when one goes to a concert, the stage is lit up with a wide range of colors, and I made sure to do just that on this mood board. Whether it's the pink color scheme on the young child with the red/pinkish guitar, or the pictures of different artists live on a stage, I aimed to make sure what I was trying to do with the colors was clear to the reader, and I intend to improve upon this w
