Recreating Competition Covers

UNDER THE RADAR:

This was the first recreation I did. I think it could have turned out better as it's quite choppy. Editing background colors can be very difficult as cutting around a model can be difficult. Using the variation tool within the adjustment menu really let me play around with color.

I thought this one would be a lot simpler and it was. However, it's lead me to believe that the raindbbow effect must have been done with lighting post-take and then emphasised in editing as it's very difficult to achieve this effect through editing alone.

This image would've been easier to edit with better images. I'm quite happy with it though. At some points, I deviated from the source to experiment, which I believe is more helpful for what I'm doing as my final product won't be just a recreation and I will need to put my own spin on things.

As the other recreations were quite difficult, I chose one that was just color manipulation to finish off with. This one was very simple and I think the finished product is a fair recreation. 

This has not only given me photoshop practice but also forced me to look at the codes and conventions associated with various covers.
