Athlete Cover Examples

Through my research and survey responses, I have decided to go with a single athlete on the cover or the "game changers" of a team which is a maximum of three athletes and make him/them pop out so that it stands out to the consumer. The image will cover most of the page and will make the audience focus on that player while a team image on a cover will have less emphasis and will need more content to describe the team.  I may also combine different types of elements to the cover and more smaller images which is what the consumers want according to my survey.
