People magazine covers normally depict celebrities for their achievements/"heroic acts". I explored the idea of creating a magazine cover with an actual hero on it (for example: a firefighter, a soldier, or even an average person who did a good deed). For this it would be considered ironic to have an actual hero on the cover of a People magazine. The other idea I explored was putting a celebrity (Taylor Swift) on the cover, but playing with the headline and making it something completely ridiculous. Something that makes fun of the fact that even though to some she may seem like a "hero", she actually is not, and is only advertised to look like one through the public eye.
