As shown, I used Photoshop to draw on a crown onto the model. The hand-drawn crown was inspired by an NME magazine, which featured Wiley on the front cover, and a black hand-drawn crown was drawn on, to reiterate the urban feel to Grime. As well as this, Grime artist Wiley, is often referred to as the Godfather, since being one of the founding members of the genre. Hence the title of the magazine - 'God-Son', representing the new generation on Grime.
I then added a dark, smokey background to emphasise the urban vibe and softened the edges around the model. I also changed the colour of the text to white to contrast the background.

The chosen image is very relevant to your chosen genre. I especially like the contrast between the black tracksuit and the gold crown. The slogan of your magazine compliments the changing attitudes in contemporary society, this is reinforced by the striking gold crown.

To improve , I think that you should add maybe his name across his lower part of the body to give the audience in insight into him as an artist.
