The Cover Challenge (PLEASE READ THE THREAD RULES IN POST #1)

[cottonmouth13]

These were supposed to be my second entry but I realized that they don't look like a redesign at all because they resemble this layout from the 90s under Liz Tilberis' reign. So, I'll just post these for fun. I have always thought the cover images of W in the 90s make a perfect US Harper's Bazaar cover.

I love what you've done with their logo on the last two covers!

 

[Conbothsides]

Big thank you to everyone who sent in their entries, to which this month's US Bazaar cover couldn't even hold a candle. I'm sure their team must've taken notes

Thank you, dear @Conbothsides ! (it was not my win to claim, all thanks to the magical hands and mind of Steven Meisel!)

Well, I honestly LOVED the challenge that @cottonmouth13 gave us, it was fun, exciting, and, well, fulfilling the desire to create gorgeous covers. And it was quite a challenge at that too, but the most important part - it gave us so much beauty to look at.

Therefore, the new theme is:

Vogue x Mert & Marcus
​

Create a full roster of covers for the year, but you can pick any Vogue edition for this (Italia, Paris, US, UK, Portugal, Russia, etc.) Of course, the shoots do not have to come from Vogue, it could be their POP, V, W, Visionaire, LOVE, campaigns and other works.

Entry 1
Vogue Italia “#TheInstaIssue by @mertalas”
Starring: Anja Rubik, Bella Hadid, Anok Yai, Mariacarla Boscono & Natasha Poly.



The lockdown continues in Italy and Farneti doesn’t know what to do to keep the magazine relevant. So, he commissioned Mert Alas to photograph supermodels via FaceTime and design the covers using Instagram filters.


Big lol for my excuse. I wanted to participate and my computer is on the technical service.

Oh my, models eating flowers really is a thing!

#1 Jennifer Aniston by Alique, from interviewmagazine.com

Yes, yes x1000 yes!!!
Somehow you've managed to make stunning cover from what seemed to be one of her worst shoots ever.

Also liked @Toni Ahlgren creative 'Shameless; Make it all about you' coverline because it goes so well with that image!

Now that's what you call a comeback, @aracic! I'm glad that you posted your entry as if it was from cottonmouth's Meisel theme. That portrait of Kaia is phenomenal.
