First draft for the digi pack

Today I have been editing photos for the digi pack,for the digi pack I will be creating a magazine cover and a album cover. So far i have taken two separate pictures of me and the artist,I have been editing the images on adobe photo shop. The only issue is that both images are in different lighting so I will need to change the contrast or lighting of one image to be the same as the other image so it will look the same.



This is what I have got so far for either the album cover or the magazine cover, the only problem with this is that there is no background to the image, I could either have a white background with another graphic image. With this image I have taken one image and moved it with another and cleared the background so it has become a plain white background, i still feel that there can be room for improvement because so far it just looks to plain.
