Out now: Port #11

If you’re going to publish your own magazine break some rules along the way, and this new Port cover is a great example of doing just that.

Leading with actor Michael Shannon shot in London by Nadav Kander (and styled by David St.John James), it is the magazine’s first word-free cover. A brave move based on the power of the image (click image to see larger version). Many magazines publish subscriber covers with a similar simplicity, but their newsstand versions always succumb to the word.
