This Flavour magazine features 'Adulthood' actor and director Noel Clarke on the front cover. However Noel isn't placed alone, instead they have cropped another picture of him behind the first picture of Noel (on the left side) wearing different clothes that are more causal and urban. This makes this picture of Noel appear younger in contrast to the first picture of Noel Clarke whom is wearing a blazer and a shirt to make him appear more older and sophisticated. This could be symbolic to represent the different sides of Noel Clarke's personality. The picture on the right could represent his working class background whereas the picture on the left could represent his promising career that includes starring in Star Trek Into Darkness and directing critically acclaimed films including 'Kidulthood' and 'Adulthood'. This concept is reinforced by the Tagline 'The NAUGHTY BUT NICE'. I think this concept is creative because it uses clothes symbolicially to show the difference faces of Noel clarke's personality. This make him appear intriguing and I believe that this is something that I can emulate with my magazine cover. For example since my teaser trailer contains three main protagonists I could place them on the front cover, using the clothes in the same way symbolically to signify the differences in their personalities.
The photography has been executed professionally and this makes the cover aesthetically pleasing. After analysing many magazine covers I have learn't that I need to place great emphasis on presenting a high standard of photography for my cover; it can make the difference between producing an aesthetically pleasing cover and a medicore one. The light coloured background of this cover also helps to lighten the mood in contrast with the serious/intimidating facial expressions of Noel Clarke. Using facial expressions and the lighting of the background is also a good way to demonstrate the personality of a character and I will also have this in mind when creating my magazine cover.
