"This cover story by Michael Pollen argues that while we have been obsessed with eradicating germs, there are health advantages to being exposed to them. The cover shot by Hannah Whitaker of a baby being licked by a dog makes graphic the prevalence of germs in our everyday lives."



I feel this photo is "informing" us about germs but at the same time using the baby and dog to drag us in. Because come on, who dosent love dogs and babies. Also, the colors in this picture pop to the human eye. The dark green color of the grass makes the light blue background pop even more. The lighting of the picture is perfect so we can see everything going on. This photo couldn't be over exposed to light at all or else the gold color of the dog and the babies skin would be brighter than everything. The word "GERMS' helps us know from the photo what the article will be about.
