Critique: David Lile Cover

Tomorrow in class I will be presenting a second draft of my David Lile radio host cover. Here's how it looks now:
I went with the image that showed his hands with the soundboard. While I know we tend to run photos of people when we have essays about them as the feature, but I wanted to mix it up. This still shows him and his profession without showing his face. I want the audience to be enticed to go inside to see who he really is after seeing the cover. I'm still not 100% sure about the typography. I tried to do an homage to Saturday Night Live but use a bit of a different font. I thought that would be something that the audience could relate to. However, the typography might change before I present in class tomorrow, although I still have Bookstore covers to do for tomorrow and some more touch-up work for my book cover. I also have an exam in another class tomorrow, eek! But hopefully it all comes together. I definitely like the Lile photo choice, so I'm really hoping everyone else does too.
