I need to create a visual argument for the l e g a l i z a t i o n of p r o s t i t u t i o n. (Sorry about the random spacing, but don't want a quick google search to lead my prof here. )

My photoshop skills are sooo limited... but I was thinking of maybe like a black and white image with a woman in a red dress leaning on against a wall with on leg up or something... maybe we fishnets on.. and green money raining down over her... Possibly a picture of either a university or the USA capitol in the background...

In my mind it would show how the woman is happy. (Oh yeah... she should be smiling or be looking happily seductive) and it would also show how the country/she is benefiting from being able to pimp herself out and pay her way through school.

I know that concept is rather specific, so I am open to changes and you do your own interpretation... but I need this done within about 24 hours or so.

Will pay in np... just name your price.

I really, really would appreciate it if one of you could help me with this!

P.s. please keep a copy of the original images you use to mesh to make the image so I can prove that I didn't just rip it off the internet.

You could also do the alternative like a prostitute with a black eye or something to show that not legalising prostitution means that they have to take increased risks with their personal safety.

Use a pic of Belle de Jour.

oooh! Good idea, Waser! That would be an excellent alternative.

Still need someone with PS skills, though.

Someone could take this



PS the watermark out, stick a bg in and paint her eye black....

I could PS the watermark but I wouldn't know where to put the bg

I've heard that legalizing prostitution helps in regulating prostitution, so keeping track of who's clean and who's got the blue waffle would be a shit ton easier.

do you have the base form of your image, Cody?
without the texture you have added to it?

Sure.

EDIT: Shit. I apparently saved over it with the texture on it... lemme find the base image again.

Okay here's some basic stuff I can say for this.

Lose the odd grating/jail bar effect if that's what you're going for. The fact that the woman is cuffed and chained makes the point clear enough. Usually serious messages like these are viewed in monochrome/black and white. it's just what I've seen from my experience--black and white makes things a lot more grave looking and urgent. To do this you can go to Image > Adjustments > Black and White or Hue/Saturation (bring the saturation slider down).

Next, we need to fix the text. Usually a striking sans-serif font does well, something punchy like League Gothic is good for this, also Helvetica/Arial Narrow/Arial if you want to play around with spacing on that. Also fix capitalization for it. If you're using League Gothic, everything will probably be in caps, but for every other font only the words "End" and "Legalize" should be capitalized.

After that you should be pretty well on your way, I'd have a bit of fun experimenting with typography on this. Increased contrast using levels (ctrl L)/curves (ctrl M) would do some good for the photo too. Looking forward to see what you come up with!

TEXT SOO UGLYYYYY.
Text bigger

Reduce the texture over "Help" and "Me"

what do you think about this one? I tried to stick to your imagry, but it was hard to find a smiler in a red-dress that was obviously a prostitute AND was rendable.

I like it!

I think it will fit the assignment well enough anyways!

I mean... it's really, really basic.... but it did precisely what I was asking for without the glamor.

Thanks again.

lol, i left out the glamour cause I assumed it being a school project that you'd want it simple, as most images for advertising (just images, not comercials) are kind of simple. I did do one thing though, I brightened the picture of the girl by a lot cause before she looked kind of dark, and though she wasn't smiling i figured to make her brighter would make her look happier as well as to help her stand out.
