Photoshopping

Within one of my media lesson this week, we were given a task to Photoshop a picture of Susan Boyle and 50 Cent  and merge the 2 famous artist into 1. I have used Photoshop before in the past and I found constructing this task quite difficult however I managed to produce my own creation of an album cover. Here is what my final constructed piece approved off.

Referring back to my previous blog, the use of Photoshop can have positive and negative aspects on the people in the image and the viewers. In this case we can see that there are 2 completely different artist that associate themselves within different genres within the music industry. If this image was used on a front cover of a music magazine, it will connote positive as well as negative influences on the artists.

The positive outcomes in this case being that the image....

- Helps to promote the artist of 50 cent and Susan Boyle to the reader
- Makes the main image and the cover of the magazine stand out and more attractive for the reader to look at
- Helps to entice the reader to buy the magazine in order to improve circulation figures

However the negative outcomes in this case is that the image....

- Could portray a negative influence on both artists from the readers perspective because they are associating themselves within a mixture of music genres rather than their chosen music genre
- May result in a loss of fans and admirers to the artist because they are striving themselves away from their specific music genre
