Eminem Rap God Album Cover

As you can see for my contents page image I used the pose that Eminem used in his album cover. The reason for this was because the person used in my magazine portrays and up and coming rap artist that is starting to acquire haters in the rap business. I didn't want to show his face, leaving readers with  a mystery to want to see who this person is, also he is opening his hands out wide which connotes that he accepts all the hate he gets and that it makes him stronger. Furthermore, If you can spot closely i used an 'outer shadow' tool to make the faintest of shadows appear on my model, in this way it gives the model an effect and makes the image more tangible in a way.
