My Favorite Cover

Finalist
GQ, Jan. 2011: "Ryan Gosling"
(Photograph by Mario Testino)

Nobody embodied 2011 Leading Man more than the brash and enormously talented Ryan Gosling. In a way, we predicted his moment: Coming off a powerful performance in the indie film Blue Valentine, he had yet to fully display his range—in a comedy (Crazy, Stupid, Love), a political drama (The Ides of March), and a controversial action film (Drive) that captures the slow-boil sexiness he brings to every role. Gosling is a throwback to an old-school stardom, one that prized relaxed confidence and elegance, which is why we paired him with Mario Testino, the classiest photographer around.

This was my favorite magazine cover because Ryan Gosling is one of my favorite actors. This picture of Ryan Gosling describes Ryan Gosling because he's always dressed nice and elegant. The picture was taken by the classiest photographer around as said in the description of the magazine cover which was a good idea to pair them up. The light looks nice, its bright enough to see the grey and the color of his eyes. Its a formal picture.

Magazine Tips

1. Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that’s showing off the service)
2. Worth the investment of money and time (that’s the “What’s in it for me?”)
3. It glows in vivid colors that will inevitably turn disappointingly dull when printed in ink. A hard-copy printout may be closer.
4. The screen is the wrong size, no matter how big it is. You can’t see it intimately as if it were in your hands.
5. Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that’s to promise benefits
