Favorite Portrait

3. Use one-point perspective This New York Times Magazine cover features James Gandolfini’s beat-up Cadillac convertible to represent the theme ‘The Lives They Lived (And The Things They Loved).’ The angle, placement and size of the car and the subtitle create a one-point perspective that vanishes into the distance.

I primarily like this portrait the best because it's simple but displays a powerful message. I also like that it's a portrait without any people in it. I some reason tend not to like most portrait's of people for some reason. The portrait itself uses a sort of worn metallic looking car combined with a blank white background to create a sort of empty feeling inside the magazine viewers. The small text in the center and what it says creates the idea of someone who's passed which emphasizes the image's tone of emptiness and silence. This portrait uses these feelings to prepare people for content inside the magazine talking about deiced people.
