My Favorite Cover

            

The editors’ description of the cover: "Just open the August 2011 issue and you'll find Mila Kunis looking sultry and super-sexy. But for the cover, we kept coming back to an off-the-cuff moment caught by Terry Richardson: her sipping an iced coffee, giant grin on her face, a bit of midriff exposed, eyes flashing. On the newsstands, surrounded by the usual array of too-perfect, too-posed beauties, her GQ cover is a total surprise; it has this immediacy, it feels new. That's because Mila looks exactly like herself here: authentic, exuberant, teasing, bold, utterly at ease and absurdly, mind-meltingly gorgeous. Iced coffee never looked so hot."

This is my favorite magazine cover because it really catches my attention for many reasons.

The first reason is because Mila Kunis is on the cover and i really like her, i think she is a very good and respected actress. Mila Kunis is also very pretty. I also like the pose that she has and she is holding a beverage what actually looks like starbucks. The bright red and the black letters

add a great touch and catches the eye.

Magazine Tips

Instead, ask the designer to print out all the alternates as hard copy, trim them accurately to magazine size and glue them onto old issues, so you can see them as close to the real thing as possible. Now, toss them on a tabletop, so they flop around and overlap like real magazines do.


No matter what you put on the cover, keep the six functions of covers in mind:
- Emotionally irresistible
- Worth the investment of money and time

reasons not to judge your cover on-screen:
- The screen is the wrong size, no matter how big it is. You can’t see it intimately as if it were in your hands.
-It glows in vivid colors that will inevitably turn disappointingly dull when printed in ink. A hard-copy printout may be closer.

If the cover pops out from its background, don’t weaken it by fussing with it. You’ve probably done something courageous, and deserve congratulations. Leave well enough alone.

My academy is able so I'm doing business. I don't know yet what i want to be i was thinking of being a psychologist because i like helping people with their problems but i also want to be a lawyer. After high school I'm probably going to be working a lot so i can move out.

Favorite things....

Favorite Song of 2012

The song by Cher Lloyd : The oath is one of my favorite songs

from 2012. I barely discovered it in December but it brought

back memories of me and my old best friend and even my current best friend

and it makes me happy to have them around.

Favorite Movie of 2012

The movie Ted was my favorite movie of 2012. I saw it at the movie

theatre with my boyfriend and we both laughed so much ! it was 

very funny and very entertaining.

Most Important News of the Year

This was the most tragic and important news. Many innocent

kids and teachers were killed and injured. Many lost loved ones and the saddest

part was that many young kids didn't make it to christmas so there were many broken 

families this year.

Most Important person of 2012

Rihanna is very inspirational to me. She is very bold

and truly an individual. She went through a lot this year but she's stronger

then ever. I never really payed much attention to her until 2012 but she has 

always had my respect for being very truthful and down to earth.

Favorite photos of the year

This is one of my favorite pictures because the snow flake is

 so perfect its amazing. I love the detail.

I love this picture because its so eery and its really crazy

and weird how the alligators eyes are glowing red. Maybe its

possessed.

I love this picture because i love animals and i like the

fact that they adopted this helpless baby elephant.
