Your best cover so far, amazing!

Thank you! ❤️🥰

 

[MModa]

I think it is time...

Thank you all for submitting your cover entries! There are so many beautiful and striking summer themed covers this round. It was definitely a hard choice to select only one as the winner because I see multiple winners...

However, my personal favorite is...

PHOTO magazine featuring Daria Werbowy by Mikael Jansson. Submitted by @cottonmouth13

I love the legendary title, photograph, Daria W., and the color scheme. The cover completely pulls me in. It is both nostalgic and feel-good.

Congrats @cottonmouth13 !

 

[pradn]

Congrats @cottonmouth13!!
Can't wait for the next challenge!

 

[cottonmouth13]

Oh wow. Did not expect that considering there were tons of magnificent entries. Thank you, @MModa!
Sharing my win to all the members who participated.

For the next theme, let us honor her legacy before she officially steps down from her EIC role.

The new theme is...
Anna Wintour: The US Vogue Years

Basically, use any photograph from US Vogue during Anna's tenure.

Good luck, everyone! Looking forward to seeing your entries.​

To all the Creative Souls and Magazine Darlings out there...

I've got a proposal, how about we create a Full-Year Issue?
12 covers, one for each month.
Or 10, if you want to combine Summer & Winter editions.
Just as a little tribute to Dame Anna Wintour.

To keep this thread fun and fabulous!

Sorry @pradn but I don’t think it’s fair you push your wishes when you’re not winner this week. Let’s be civil. @cottonmouth13 gave us task. Stick to that!

What??

What I meant was:
I’m still sticking to the theme given by @cottonmouth13

“Anna Wintour: The US Vogue Years.”

But I was simply sharing an idea:
What if we create a Full-Year Issue, but still based on that theme?

You don’t have to agree with it, and that’s totally fine.

I mean…
I’m not upset or anything, whether I win or not.
This thread is for having fun!

So let’s just chill, yes?

Why would you be upset???

This is just digital world. Hobby and fun for all of us.

Anyway you suggested that we make 10 or 12 covers for one entry or did I misunderstood you?

Exactly hun..
This is a digital space for creativity and fun,
which is why I wasn’t upset at all.

You know what?
Maybe we’re just having a little tone mismatch here..

I never intended to overstep or go off-theme.
If it came across that way, it truly wasn’t the goal.

Still, I’d prefer not to be misrepresented as someone who’s “pushing” anything.
It was just a light creative spin-off. Something many others have done before too.

No hard feelings at all, let’s keep the thread fabulous and flowing..

Love the idea, @pradn! Reminds me of what was probably the 'peak' time here, when we would have over 10 entries per certain members... I remember reimagining a whole year of Edward's Vogue once upon a time! It'll be really fun to try again (although I must admit, combing through 2024 issues of American Vogue trying to reimagine a full year of covers just now was an abysmal experience haha)

 

[crmsn]

IIRC, it was also Cottonmouth13 who hosted a similar theme with Pradn's a few years back. That was an incredible round!

We done this a few times long time ago with Meisel and M&M, that was 14 covers in one week.

I am not understanding this round: Is everyone creating 12 US Vogue covers for the year, picking a specific month, or doing any month they choose?

Personally, I do not want to create a full year of US Vogue covers.

Well ask the guy who won last week!

It seems others are pushing their narrative and saying what he would do, even though he never said it and gave us clear topic.

@cottonmouth13 was very clear in her or his Challenge request (sorry, I do not know the gender of the user) and I will follow it.
