My Favorite Cover

FAVORITE

The controversial April 1968 cover depicting Muhammad Ali impaled by six arrows appeared on the heels of his refusal to be inducted into the U.S. Army because of his religious beliefs. (Ali, convicted violating the Selective Service Act, was barred from the ring and stripped of his title.) The cover, the second of three Esquire covers defending Ali, shows the boxer martyred as St. Sebastian, a patron saint of athletes and one who was shot with arrows for his steadfast religious beliefs. This was one of the covers designed by the renowned George Lois, Esquire's Art Director during the 1960s.

The portrait in my opinion is a pretty good perception of Muhammad Ali, the arrows show that he can take arrows like he can take his punches. Muhammad Ali is known as one of the best boxers of all time he's a well known person and well looked up to. This magazine cover is simple but at the same time its very well put together and it attracts good attention. When you see Muhammad Ali with arrows sticking out his chest you think man he's a strong man because he has ARROWS in his chest. This Magazine Cover actually portrays Muhammad's passion for boxing the ironic part is he was convicted of violating the Selective Service Act and therefore was stripped of his boxing ring and lost his title.

Best Photos Of 2013

I think this picture is really interesting because its a really dangerous storm but it looks so beautiful. The way this picture is its kind of off center so the photographer used the rule of thirds to make it so much more attractive. This is a dark eerie photo but sometimes dark is beautiful and soothing.

I think this photo is a cool photo because its a little desert fox so its really cute to the eyes and the background was a desert biome so the fox goes great with this background. This picture has the most interesting concept to it its a simple concept and can be categorized as simplicity. The edges of the fox are really defined and sharp although the background is blurry its a great photo.

In this photo is a field of crops surrounded by cherry blossoms, in my opinion cherry blossoms are very beautiful and has a beautiful shade of pink that anyone would like. Cherry Blossoms are on trees and the trees are kind of out of the frame but are still noticeable. This photographer did a good job on this photo this shows the element of balance.
