Cover Image Thoughts

When it comes to such artistic and high-fashion magazines, the cover image must be electrifying, thought-provoking, and stunning. The fact that this particular issue of my magazine will be focusing on the androgyny movement that has been recently occurring in the fashion industry, I wanted to create an image that would make a statement to the blurring of gender roles in fashion. I want my cover image to portray several different messages on gender, sexuality, and femininity/masculinity and how all of these intertwine with fashion. I obviously want to take a numerous amount of images so I can feature them throughout my two-page spread as well. Now that I introduced my models in a previous blog, I want to give you guys an idea for what my vision is. Take a look at some of the most iconic vogue covers of all time:

         




    

Notice how the images are all incredibly captivating? This is what my cover image must embody. I need an image that will leave people thinking. Considering that the issue of my particular magazine will be such wide-ranging topic that can garner so much conversation, my cover image must have a lot of thought into it. I already discussed the minimal use of coverlines in a previous blog, but now I need to combine a minimal yet powerful use of coverlines and combine it with a strong cover image that can stand on its own. Take a look at this link for more background on the iconic vogue covers that revolutionized the fashion industry. As for my own cover, I will start brainstorming as much as I can to come up with a detailed idea for a cover image. I'll definitely get back to you guys with my cover image idea before the end of this week. Till next time, xoxo!
