inspiration for my article title and tag line.


Stylist magazine . (2014 ). video: how to apply flawless foundation by Revlon's beauty director Gucci Westman . Available: http://www.stylist.co.uk/beauty/video-how-to-apply-silky-smooth-foundation-shared-by-revlon-s-global-make-up-director-gucci-westman. Last accessed 22nd Nov 2015 .

What do I like about this?

Firstly I think the image is amazing. I keep looking at it and I like everything about it. I like the way the skin looks so flawless, it's almost illuminous and I like the way the coat is made from a material that makes it look wet, much like the skin. I thin the way the model is posed is also very nice, she looks very natural and not forced. The way her hands are placed also looks very soft, something I think would have been intended. 
Furthermore I like the fact that although the background is of the same colour palette as the models skin, it does not take away from the image and simply fits very well.
I believe the font of the title suits this editorial very well. The font is soft and does not have any sharp edges, this I think suits the theme well.
I also like how the tag line and opening paragraph is placed. The font is not too big and there is just enough information for the reader to understand what the editorial is about, yet it is not too much and I infer that the copy would carry on, on the opposite page. 
The title of this article is a good pun. The article is clearly about makeup bases (the primers, foundations and highlighters to make the skin glowy and flawless) yet the title is also the name of Meghan Trainor's song 'All about that base' which I think is very clever. 
Overall I think this image is very strong, this is something I aspire to create and hopefully my final blog will look even half as good as this editorial image.

What do I like about this?
I do not like this image as much as the one above. This is because I am not too keen on the font. I do not like the red in this image as I think it looks too punchy, however this is probably intended as the word 'intensity' is in red, a colour that infers the word that is the main feature. 
I believe I chose this image because of the title. 'Fresh' is a word that comes to mind when I think of the theme I have chosen to base my blog on, therefore finding this image has helped me with the idea of my own title and tag line. Other than this I am not too keen on this image as a whole, even though I think the title is nice.
