 I plan to create a two-page magazine spread focusing on a rising celebrity's journey from controversy to redemption.  The front cover will be titled 'REDEMPTION'  in red and there will be a catch line beneath it 'saying writes a new chapter'. This will be in white which will contrast to the red. This is because the red connotes to his bad past of stealing to the white chapter portraying his transformed self and for a better future.    The main image in the front cover will be a long shot of the celebrity sitting on a bench, holding a book titled, 'A heart for the Homeless'.
