I'd describe this as "a good cover" because look at that layout! I mean, most male purchasers will be looking at something else, because the magazine is tastefully maximising the allure of this great-looking actress - but the cover design really catches the eye as well, with that effect of perspective - literally showing us 'the writing on the wall'.
Would I ever buy this issue? Hell no, I've no interest in Charlize's intimate areas, but I can give the magazine credit for doing a good job of selling itself in an active way - reaching out to people with a daring design. US Vogue however, simply served up more of the same.
