LINE magazine is a lifestyle magazine with an emphasis on Sport, Health, Travel, Equipment, Fashion (from the cover).

The setting is a gravel beach with an old fishing boat . There is a fishing net and several other fishing related pieces of old equipment lying around. A man and a woman hold signs up covering their faces. The woman is in the foreground. She wears a white dress with a high visual contrast to the rest of the image. She is positioned closer to the camera and draws the most visual interest. Her sign is a photograph of a shoe. The male figure holds an sign with the text "IMAGINE" written on it.

I find this interesting because neither of the models wear the shoe in the image. Their faces are covered. The scenery is somewhat exotic - perhaps Africa or Europe somewhere. (It isn't an Australian beach!)

Perhaps if you were walking on that gravel beach it would be nice to be wearing that shoe.
