My Favorite Cover

It’s hard not to be attracted to this cover of Surf featuring a young boy poking his tongue out at the camera. It is, in the words of Wedge & Lever, “sophistication that does not take itself too seriously.”

The photo is in black and white, making it look very unique and stand out more . The kid is sticking his tongue out, showing that it isn't taking itself very seriously. The picture is well framed with the kid drawing attention. The picture is also very clear and not out of focus and blurry. The kid is clearly having fun in the picture, which adds to it appeal. Since the magazine appears to be about surfing and locations related to it, the picture shows that in a way that is charming and silly.
