When editing my cover image I wanted to keep it as natural looking as possible. Therefore I only changed a couple of things. Firstly I played around with the brightness and contrast and decided on the outcome below. The contrast separates the darkest and the brightest areas of an image. I chose to increase the contrast so that the shadows  are darker and the highlights are brighter. I also played around with the brightness of the image and decreased it making it darker. I thought this would go well with the contrast I used on the image because it enables the highlights to become even brighter emphasising the artist which is the focal point in this issue of the magazine.

I then used the paintbrush tool in order to add additional eyelashes to the artist. I did this as make up and looking good is something representative of my female audience. This also draws you into the artists eyes giving connection to the consumer.
