The New Yorker (Francis Igot)

so i initially wanted my new yorker cover on the egyptian student to look like this:



...but that didn't work out because it sent an ambiguous message. is it for supporting reform/improvements in freedom of expression in egypt or it is against (militaristic subject matter).

so, i scaled down the stark military figures and just focused on egyptian rally goers wearing aliyaa's red flower to signify a protest supporting her bravery in challenging the limits of freedom of expression in egypt. it still seems ambiguous, but not as much as the first cover.
