Stride magazine cover

“Cover of an invented running magazine called STRIDE. Cover photograph: a 72-year-old Sikh man, a retired marathon runner, lean and wiry, a long white beard tied neatly, a saffron turban, a sweat-darkened navy running vest, laughing mid-stride in the early morning on the misty Sukhna Lake promenade in Chandigarh, soft cool light, shallow focus. Layout: the masthead STRIDE in a huge heavy serif across the top, partly behind his turban; cover lines down the left side in a clean sans serif: "Never Too Late: Running at 72", "The Monsoon Training Plan", "14 Shoes, Tested"; a small barcode in the bottom corner. Palette: saffron, navy, misty teal. Real magazine print layout, real skin and beard texture.
