Hawkins' Breasts Bulge with Photoshop !

Do you need new -- lateral -- thinking for your own problems? email nick leth at gmail dot com. Need solutions? No worries. Now.

Last week Paul Murray, in a fit of altruistic sarcasm, denied that The West uses the front page for teasers and advertising. Today (Wed 14 Oct 09) the front cover contains:

• one serious story
  
• one large photo and two sentences as a teaser -- sorry, lead in -- to a "Report, P3".
  
• weather overview ("Details, P69")
  
• small ad for an "8-page liftout inside"
  
• very small ad for newspaper home delivery
  
• another teaser headline
  
• a larger ad "for our new liftout"...

... and it's that final ad which leads into the headline for this blog. After all, it's not just The West which can misuse headlines to grab your attention :-)

Have a look at the photo -- Jennifer Hawkins in a bikini top, for those who don't have the newspaper. The ad is for an "exclusive photo shoot" in the new style liftout.

Then turn to the style liftout. It has the same photo on the cover. Or does it?!

The front page "teaser" photo shows a distinct bulge to Jennifer's left breast. There is a shadow, to emphasise the size and shape. There is -- thanks to the strong shadow -- a hint of overhang... This is clearly a breast which is large enough to jut and hang....

None of which is visible on "the same" photo on the cover of the style liftout.

A tiny touch of extra shadow is all it takes. I use the words, "breasts bulge" in an attempt to catch your attention. The West uses a visual version of the same thing, to catch your attention. It works for The West.

I hope that it works for me...
