If you asked me to name a hit tune by Eminem I couldn’t do it.  But this cover sure got my attention at the newsstand today.

Great use of the cover real estate, with all cover lines justified left.  The simple, uncluttered approach and colour scheme is powerful and compelling. The hoodie cutting into the Rollingstone logo creates the 3d pop.

Nothing complicated here:  what are they selling?  Eminem.

Even without eye contact the cover works.  Nice cleft chin, eh?  Everyone likes a redemption story.  This one holds great promise.  We will report back with a Check Up in a few months time and let you know how this one sold.
