This the picture i chose for my front cover. I made him pose like that because I wanted to photoshop smoke coming out of his mouth. The reason why I made him a wear a t-shirt was because I also wanted to photoshop tattoos on his arms, which appeals more to a HIP HOP magazines. I got the idea from looking at other Hip Hop magazines. On almost every front cover there is a male artist with tattoos on his upper body.
Here i have cropped out the artist and added a black/grey background which matches the T-shirt he is wearing. I also made his arms bigger and air-brushed his face. 
As you can see I photoshoped smoke onto the picture. I took a picture of a friend smoking and cropped out the smoke which was time consuming.
This is the final modification to the picture itself where I photoshoped tattoos onto his arms. I found some pictures of tattoos and cropped them out using the lasso tool and then finally faded the tattoos so they look real.
