Setter's mature public front (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

image

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'public front' is the definition.
'image' can be an answer for 'front' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'public' bit.

'setter's mature' is the wordplay.
'setter's' becomes 'I'm' (referring to the crossword setter).
'mature' becomes 'age' (synonyms).
'im'+'age'='IMAGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for image that I've seen before include "Visual or mental representation" , "Likeness, could be spitting" , "External impression" , "Picture (involving one letter change from 10)" , "Likeness U symbol" .)
