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.
