My Favorite Cover



Finalist
W, Sept. 2011: "The Fashion Issue"
(Photograph by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott)
For W's biggest fashion issue of the year, the magazine celebrated the ways women today transform themselves by showcasing actress Kristen Stewart as readers had never seen her before. Photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot transformed the 21-year-old cover model from the Twilight teenager that audiences know best into the glamorous, grown-up vixen she's becoming. "Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves," Stewart says playfully on the cover, tempting readers to pick up the issue and see for themselves.
I love this picture, the lighting is perfect. By just looking at the picture i can already tell that the magazine is about fashion. What i don't like is that the picture is a little to close, it could've shown a little of her outfit.

Magazine Tips.


  1. Worth the investment of money and time (that’s the “What’s in it for me?”)
  2. Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that’s to promise benefits)
  3. If the cover pops out from its background, don’t weaken it by fussing with it
  4. Emotionally irresistible (that’s the image’s appeal)
  5. Efficient, fast, easy to scan (that’s showing off the service)
