My Favorite Cover (Portrait)

"New York’s “Spring Fashion” cover with actress Elle Fanning has artist Will Cotton revisiting Johannes Vermeer’s famous painting “Girl With a Pearl Earring” in pose, expression, and lighting, while Fanning’s Vivienne Westwood–inspired headpiece made of icing and designed by Cotton prepares readers for the stunning “Candy Land” portfolio inside the magazine. Cotton has been using candy in his artwork “as a metaphor for pure pleasure” since the late nineties, and used spring looks as inspiration for New York."

This magazine cover is my favorite cover of all the covers, the subject has been brought forward with using a simple background and keeping the words off of her. They had put the words behind her and the left and right not as big and eye-catching as the image. The main area of focus is her headpiece and her questioning face. The font and color of it goes well against the black. I think its the right size because you can figure what its about by the large font on top, "Spring Fashion". The one problem with it is that i feel they could've used not such a powerful light. Her back seems to exposed in the light. Seems like it should be a darker area.
