The cover looks very Elle. Actually, that’s an insult to Elle.

Nothing about this magazine feels elevated anymore - it’s become utterly generic.

There are a couple of ok images in the story, but this is a 4 page filler feature in the middle of the book at best.
 
It's something different, but that cover shot wouldn't attract me as a buyer, because the colours are harsh and the design / production values seem very low.

There's a lot of empty space that doesn't serve the image. Maybe it's the colour - if the background was lighter, would it feel 'airy'? Instead, we have this block colour that feels more like a barrier. The blue doesn't feel energising or hopeful or enticing.

I wouldn't have minded the fourth editorial image (in red) as the cover, I would have connected better with it, and the colour is still strong but without being jarring. But I suppose, where would you put the words?

As a long-time subscriber, I've decided this magazine is probably on the chopping block, and we're only three issues into the year.
 
I just winced. A lovely girl but not March cover-worthy.

Also, we need to find a budget somewhere. These solid color backdrops are not it.
 
Honestly? I expected better given the fact Rafael Pavarotti is involved. He's capable of delivering such wonderful cover imagery, and this just ain't it. Despite the bold colours, the cover feels... empty, static, and lifeless. Indeed getting British Elle vibes from this, @LastNight.
