This front cover of GQ magazine features an up-close image of actor Leonardo DiCaprio making eye contact with the viewer. The masthead is bold and red to attract attention, using a simple modern font appealing to GQ's target young male audience. Multiple cover lines are placed around DiCaprio's image without distracting from it, including the largest line introducing Leonardo DiCaprio in large text away from his face.
