The Magazine Genre and idea's..

I am going along the lines of the up front face shot. i feel these are more appealing and brings out what the artist is about even though we dont see the body. The picture of the up front face shot is good as the photographer has brought out the real personality of the character on this front cover. I like the use of colour aswell and the kind of font used. overall i want to make a magazine cover along the lines of this one.
