It's funny how big of an issue magazine covers are. But we can't blame the people, can we?
The last few months have been very controversial for magazine covers. Cover photos of Charice Pempengco and Jinkee Pacquiao gained a lot of negative feedback instead of positive ones. Why? Because they say it's "impossible"; very obvious that it's "photoshopped".
But we all know magazines really use photoshop. Is it the photoshop skills that's a major fail? Well if that's the case, then there's a photoshop war here, everybody!
PHOTOSHOP QUEEN CANDIDATES
> CHARICE PEMPENGCO
Charice Pempengco is Preview Magazine's cover girl for their January-February 2012 issue. Since it was published, a riot of criticisms popped from everywhere. Some didn't recognize Charice at their first glance. Some just laughed hard.
You be our judge:
However, Preview's creative director Vince Uy explained, "We don't deny that we use Photoshop. That already, I think, in this day and age, it's already a common practice. But we can say though that we didn't overuse it. We wanted to give (Charice) something fresh, something people haven't seen her in." He also pointed out: "It's actually the hair that really made Charice look different."
Again, you be the judge.
> JINKEE PACQUIAO
Jinkee Pacquiao, wife of our boxing champ Manny, is also receiving an overwhelming shower of disbelief on Mega Magazine's January 2012 issue. Another riot of negative comments for another magazine cover. Let's take a look, and you decide.
On this "photoshop" issue, Mega magazine said that yes, Jinkee's picture undergone photo editing, but it was only "the standard cleanup process" that all the usual magazine covers go through.
Moreover, Jinkee added that she really prepared for that photoshoot. She claimed to go on a diet to look slimmer and sexier. And she even challenged her critics to come and see her in person.
Her husband, Congressman Manny Pacquiao said nothing about the issue, only that he believes that his wife is indeed beautiful on the magazine cover, and also in person.
> and... KC CONCEPCION??
Just recently, another magazine cover gained numerous feedback from netizens of different networking sites. It's KC Concepcion. She is Rogue Magazine's cover girl for their Jan-Feb 2012 issue. Apparently, the cover is very striking, given that KC's pose was somewhat revealing. She gave people a a good look of her behind.
However, KC was not safe from the eyes of "critics". Some praised it, and some was not impressed at all... (or at how it was "photoshopped").
Again, you see for yourself:
The snake on her wrist is real, it's her pet Coco. The head she's holding, however, was said to be originally a Piolo Pascual look-alike, but eventually changed into a generic mannequin. As we all know, KC is now moving on from her "mala-teleseryeng" relationship and break-up with the said actor.
Inappropriate? Photoshopped? What? You decide.
