Completed Edits



I really like the angle of this photo and how the audience has a clear view of 'Alice' staring shocked at  the clock. But by using this angle we could also get a lot of the tea party scene included, this combined with the clock very much reinforces the themes of Wonderland, which is very helpful for this photo as the signature blue dress is not the focus. This closer shot also allows for the rings on 'Alice's' fingers to be much more noticeable as opposed to my other body shots. The colours in this photo make for a very interesting pastel palette that create a visually appeasing image, these colours also reflect the vintage style well. For the Viber logo and slogan I decided to keep in tune with the pale colours and so used the same baby pink as featured in the straw stripes, the dusky lilac of the slogan came from one of the purple glasses. This image features the rule of thirds as the viewer's eye is directed across the whole picture with there being no center focus. In terms of editing I used a filter tool to lighten the photo in order to not make the lighting used in the taking of the photo not look as artificial. The filter provides the idea that it is lit naturally by the sun. The filter also makes the photo appear a lo softer and this adds to the dreamy quality of 'Wonderland'.


This image gives off the impression of being very warm due to the colours and the way that the light has caught them. I controlled the contrast on this photo in order to make the colours a lot deeper and richer. This can easily be seen in the model's 'Mad Hatter' clothes, i.e. the red hat. I love the idea of this photo as it clearly portrays the idea and scene of the Mad Hatter's tea party turning to disarray, the glasses and such on the table have been knocked over and the Mad Hatter herself is throwing the roses into the air and watching them fall back with glee. Her mouth turned up into a small smile which gives the idea that she's trying to restrain herself but it isn't working. Her expression combined with the scene really highlights what Wonderland is all about. The window showcases a gorgeous winter scene that isolates the tea party and gives the impression that there isn't another home for miles around. The red logo and slogan are soft and are reminiscent of Christmas, the colour was taken from the hat on the model. With the model's arms being open wide and her palms facing the camera it offers a welcoming gesture for the viewer, as though the Mad Hatter wants them to see the mess she is making and isn't scared but at the same time her downward cast face gives the impression that she either doesn't know the audience is there or that she simply doesn't care.


I really like this photo as I feel the simplicity really highlights the smaller detail in the White Queen's dress and gives the photo an air of elegance to match the Queen's graceful stance. I removed the blue screen background in order to replace it with a simple red and green tartan pattern. I chose this as I felt the  pattern was very much a Winter-y image. The image is warm and inviting which the viewer will find appealing. The use of the rule of thirds means that the lines of tartan gently guides the viewer's eye across the title, slogan and to the Queen who even appears to be reading the slogan herself. I really enjoy how the Queen's hair looks immaculate and dress wrinkle free in a true royal fashion, the lush white blanket she is just barely sweeping her fingers across also adds to the warm image of Christmas. The use of lines also feature in this photo are a great way to lead the viewer's eye across the text and to the model. Overall these create a very visually appeasing image that fits the brief perfectly and the reader of 'Vibe' would enjoy.         
I love the use of the rule of thirds in this image and how the photo represents the winter season. The photo makes the viewer want to shiver as they look at it but the scene itself is beautiful, this is highlighted with he use of colour. The viewer's eye is led across the whole image taking in every detail of the model and the scenery. Again the use of the dog adds a softer element to the image. With Alice being in the foreground of the picture this image has a lot of depth that is very visually appeasing. I love how vibrant the dress is in the photo and makes the viewer's eye be drawn to it immediately.   

I love this image as it clearly portrays the White Queen and gives a sense of what her character is like. The way she is walking through the snow looks here to be smooth and graceful just like a Queen when really any one else that would be walking across the scene would be staggering and struggling. The fact that she has left no marks in the snow gives the illusion that her flowing dress train has swept her footsteps away as she has left them. The layout of this photo is one of my favourites as the viewer's eye is taken across the logo, over the model and finally to the slogan on the right side. The whole photo is fluid and easy to look at, the expanse of white is smooth and a great contrast to the blue-y green colours of the trees. I also really like how lines are used in this photo, they aren't easy or plain to see, instead they are embedded within the trees and the viewer is unconsciously made to rake their eyes up and down the photo following the paths of the trees whilst also the White Queen. The way that the edges are blurred out also softens the photo and ensures that the model is the center focus in her luxurious vintage dress.
