I think it's ok to change the person's appearance if the person is ok with it. They should mention if this photo is manipulated. 5. If the person feels bad about their manipulation of the image of them, that is ethically wrong. 6. As I said, any changes that person like is ok.

Image Based- Get attraction from reader by interesting picture or person that can attract viewer. For example like travel magazine or celebrities in magazine Illustration Based- This was the only method to create cover page of the magazine in old days. Nowadays the all the illustrated image uses computer graphics Type Based - It's not typical way, but usually this type of method is strong and shocking because most of the time they chose some shocking quotes or they put shocking statistics. Concept Based - This type of cover page is easy to understand the meaning of the image of the cover by readers. The ideas could be really funny to readers, but that is the main point. Relationship between words and photo in magazine cover is they support each others weakness.

I thought it was effective to show who is Bill Cosby and what have he done. It's really interesting that all the portrait of women are black and white. I think it's trying to include emotion to the portrait. I liked the id
