This is the February 2013 cover of the music magazine Rolling Stone, with cover star Rihanna. I think this cover works brilliantly, its eye catching and undoubtedly flawless. Even though the masthead is partly covered, due to the huge worldwide cult following this magazine it is still easily recognized. It also uses the golden spiral rule as seen here:
The 'golden spiral' suggest that if an image conforms to this theory then it is seen to be more aesthetically pleasing to look at. The golden spiral is used on this cover with rihanna as the spiral begins on her eye/nose, to the top of her head and back round to just below her shoulder.
I want to keep the 'golden spiral rule' in mind when taking and choosing the images of my cover star/s as i think it works really well in creating a create cover image.
Here is an example of the golden spiral rule being used on an image of a flower.
