propaganda wars = jobs?

propaganda wars = jobs?

I dabble with photoshop now and again , and according to the
news some journo called Hajj , doctored (badly, very badly) some
pictures of an Israeli F-16 dropping 3 bombs (when it dropped
1) , and the smoke from a bombed beiruit being darker and clone
stamped all over , it was very obvious and very poorly done.

This is bad,

but my question is this , can I make a career out of it? , at the
moment I do a so so white collar job which feels a bit dead end
sometimes, now I'm ok with photoshop , specialising in flesh over
vehicles and my BCF pictures are generally quickly hashed and barely colour matched either.

Or would this be selling your soul to the devil ?.

most supermodels have their pictures photoshopped (or similar program) to make them look better, so yeh there are quite easily jobs out there that you could do with photoshop on.

There are professional artworkers at repro companies that specialised in retouching photography. At the last design agency I worked for I handled photography jobs and we always had them retouched to remove blemishes, correct colour or simply blank parts out etc. It seems to be quite an artform when done well.
I've never really learnt how to use photoshop myself although I'd love to be able to mess about with photographic images jsut for fun.
If it's something you like doing you should look into qualifications in it along with graphic design/artwork for print.

i have seen web jobs for someone with photoshop, and html experience for about £13k so you are probably better off in your normal job even if its more boring

Hi

Take a look at the front page of MCN this week. Pretty sure you could do a better job than that.

Mock up of a 6 cylinder Suzuki. Forks don't reach the top yoke. Twist grip on both sides. Conventional front brake master cylinder with an additional remote reservior floating around. Throttle cables stop in the middle of nowhere then start off again in the middle of nowhere.

All the best

Keith
