My Favorite Cover

Harper's Bazaar, March 2014, Lady Gaga

"Eyes closed, surrounded by a cut-out Carolina Herrera neckpiece, Lady Gaga looks like she's ready to explode. Photographed by Terry Richardson, what compels about the cover is both the graphics and the rare stillness of a superstar. Here, cut-out means a knockout."

I really like this photo, because it focuses in onto the girl's face, but not in such a plain way. It still all angles in to show what the subject is, but the rest of the picture still has a contribution and a flare. They make her look very white, but it kind of adds to the snowflake type design, as if she were the center of it. They are trying to show the uniqueness of each individual superstar, and I think it's cool the way they explain it. Like snowflakes, they're all so much different. The way they decorate the picture really draws your attention and it's very pleasing to the eye.
