I scanned these images from adverts in various copies of Elle magazine.
The two Yves Saint Laurant adverts look really effective, in my opinion. The way that the image is placed in the centre of the page, with a very succint white border around the outside, not only makes the advert look clean and bright, but also adds to the air of opulence around the brand, as they have left so much blank space on an advert.
The two pages from an Elle fashion shoot look really interesting as the first page is shot with the model posing, yet the second page shows just the shoes, in a pose. I may use this for the front and back cover of my publication.
I replicated the idea of the model with the shoes, followed by just the shoes for the front and back cover of my publication. I had to copy and paste varying bits of the original image to create an identical background, but without the woman being there. To do this, I opened the image in Adobe Photoshop and 'smudged' and 'blurred' the visible joining lines. I printed out a proof to see if it had worked, but the joins were still visible, so I carried on a while longer until the desired effect was acheived.
