These edits are influenced by Jacek Narkielun and his ‘Neon Girls’. To create these I first edited them in Adobe Lightroom, and selected a high contrast preset. I then opened it in Adobe Photoshop and adjusted the curves to create a cross process effect and then added a gradient layer to create a neon type effect on the image.

 These images were mostly created in Photoshop. I cropped the images down so they were the same size and used the ‘old polar’ preset in Lightroom. I then opened it in Photoshop where I enhanced the contrast and overlaid a gradient layer. I think this collection is successful because I think the gradient adds to the playful, childish theme that I’m going for.

I decided to use a different style of editing for each collection of images. This was so that the magazine wouldn’t look too similar and result in being quite boring and not very eye catching.
