This is an image of my male model Josh Bloomer posing in the character of 'Josh Bloom' the violinist.
I used the software Adobe Photoshop to edit the pictures I took of him. At the start of my blog or somewhere near the beginning I took a lot of pictures of my two models and I made a collage. Some I didn't use because they didn't seem right or just simply because I didn't need that many pictures of them in my magazine.
I used an eraser tool on a spaced out setting so when I was cutting him out of the white background it didn't look so sharp and harsh but more like a gradual cut so he could be placed on the right background on my front cover.
 
I used some of the additional tools to take away his blemishes - blemish eraser - and a burn tool to darker those features on his face. It enhanced his eyebrows, eyelashes and other crevices that were on his face.
 
- The violin and jumper are lovely colours and compliment each other.
- I do like this pose. Out of everyone Josh did I prefer this one. It shows the classical edge, with the violin and the bow positioning however the way he is standing shows how laid back he is and because he isn't in a suit but in smart clothing again it has that younger, relaxed vibe to it.

To improve

 
To improve I could continue with the continuity  of the house style and mast head.
- I have used the same 'mf' throughout and the house style which is good as I am continuing with it throughout my magazine which you can tell throughout my blog.
- The fonts are rather clear and I am still sticking with the four colour scheme.

I NEED TO:
- Add another two columns or if I add another one and make the last column bigger I could make it into a review section or like an editors section like on other magazines.
