The text at the bottom says Dancing Feet are Happy at Madame Noirs. I designed this for a ballet dancing ad.

Advertisement

I can't upload my advertisement. It says that my image is corrupt and I have saved it as a tiff image to try to compress it. Nothing is working.

The third time is a charm. I made an advertisement for a new shoe.

Photoshop Frustration

I have had many frustrations with myself over photoshop. I really like the program but until I understand it, I believe I will continue to be frustrated. To help with my frustration I watch the tutorials suggested on the assignments. I have also put time aside to fully discover photoshop. I have this conspiracy that computers really don't like me, and it's not mine or the program's fault.

Boots

This photo has too much white space. The shoes are attractive but the photo takes away the full potential of the shoes.

Photo Composition

Photo 3

I like how simple the picture is. The model is framed by white space. The shades of purple keep your eye glued to this photo. The lines created by the skirt and wrap gives your eyes a fun maze to trace.

Photo Composition

Photo 2

The photographer made the model the focus. The leading line of the rolling rack leads the eyes to the model. the model's legs lead you up to the model again. The shading of the gray hues keeps your eyes focused on the girl. Then the girl's shadow leads you to the mannequin. Over all the space is well used and keeps the eyes happy.
