LIFE Magazine critique

I believe this particular cover for LIFE Magazine to be one of their worsts. It is not very catching to the eye and it doesn't look very well done. It certainly doesn't look like a photoshop professional created this.  These kids don't look like they're even in those armor suits. Even if a person found this image creative and catching, they wouldn't appreciate the topic of hundred dollar armor for six year olds. Maybe the article inside can justify the cover, but without reading the article, it's not very appealing.

Kaleidoscope

This is a project that I took and played with it for a little while. I made the kaleidoscope project using a picture of some roses I took a while ago. After I made the actual kaleidoscope part, I played with some different tools and effects to change it around a bit. I found something called curves which can make your image lighter or darker. I made this one darker and it isolated the flowers and kept them light. I think it made it look especially cool and interesting to look at.
