This image was chosen for the magazine's contents page to represent the style of music and topic for that month. The image shows a doll in a bright costume against a dark background during carnival preparations. Enhancements will be made using Adobe software to focus on the doll, brighten its costume, and crop out distracting background objects so that the image stands out and grabs readers' attention in a professional way.

1. This will be the only image used on my contents page other than the small preview image of the double page spread. The
reason I chose this is image is because it represents the style of music and topic the issue of the magazine has for the month.
The image which was taken on a busy street during the preparation of carnival show the dark light in the background but the
bright costume the dolls use. As you can see flash was needed as this image was taken during the evening but once I’ve
changed the brightness, levels, contacts, effects and cropping on adobe the image will look a lot more appropriate for the
content page. The enhancement used on this image will allow the doll to stand out as well as the movement around the
picture. The image which has been taken from a long shot has various objects in the background which will be cropped out,
therefore the image will look professional and it will hopefully grip the reader’s attention.
