Honors Option: Recreate 2

  

This recreation was not one of my favorites. I love the magazine advertisement I found for Chanel N5. However, I don't think that I did a good job at portraying the same lightness and gentleness that the ad had. I think I needed to change the lighting, but everything I tried didn't work. Anyway, from my research on Chanel, it was created in 1909 and it is one of the most recognized haute couture lines in the world. The brand itself symbolizes elegance and status. My recreation was supposed to replicate the elegance as is shown in the actual ad. I think my version is a little too "rough" looking.

 

Again, for this photo, I wanted to portray elegance. The style of dress in the original ad really drew my eye, so I wanted to focus on that element for my recreation. I tried the dress with a green tone, however I think I like the black and white version better. Now that I look at it, the green is sort of competing with the yellow of the bottle. (And unfortunately I don't have a new bottle of the perfume, and I don't know how to make it look like it's full when it isn't.)

Here are a few others to add to the other part of the assignment. I chose Aveda lotion. There are several versions. 

For these I wanted to focus on the feet/legs and hands since the product is specifically for feet and hands. So, in all of these I either have the head/face partly or fully cut out. I think either the 2nd or 3rd work better than the first.

Thanks for your patience! And thank you so much for letting me do this!
