US Elle September 2005 : Jennifer Lopez
- Thread starter model_mom
- Start date
okay, I am no designer but don't magazine covers function in a similar way to billboards? Aren't they supposed to make you want to see more? This cover is like a junior high school presentation or something. Maybe the design team had way too many triple espressos.
Instead of tantalizing the eye, it is overloaded and distracted by too many elements – this hodgepodge gives me a headache.

Holy flippin bejesus.... what the heck is going on (or actually not going on) on that cover. 11 articles are spotlighted on that cover in a mess that makes my hear hurt looking at it
...and JLO looks awful... WAY TOO MUCH Airbrushing and/or Botox because her face looks like it was chesled in marble and if she moves it would be break

i like the pose
Whoa, all I had to do was glimpse at that cover and the first thing I thought was that it is waaaaaaaaaay too busy...glad to see I'm not the only one who thought so...
However, I actually like Jennifer Lopez on the cover, I think she looks pretty and I like the dress on her.
And OriginalSin those pics of the Adrian Lima editorial are great!!! She looks so beautiful in them, thanks!
But the amount of writing on the cover...that's like some kind of seriously unfunny joke...

"luxe life" by carlyne cerf de dudzeele. adriana lima in velvets, brocades, sequins and furs. i mean, she's gorgeous, so... the best pic is her in a balenciaga coat from the first exit.
"new originals" by gilles bensimon. unknown blonde mixing high and low...a weekend max mara trench over a commes dress, a dior shearling over guess jeans, a carolina herrera dress and chanel vest over armani exchange jeans (although i thought the whole "dress over jeans" thing was, well over).

BTW, look at her boobs (on the cover). I hate when magazines make boobs look like that. Like they either do some stupid shadowing affect with makeup or they go back and airbrush them to make them look... something. It's so cartoonish looking.
I actually was a little disappointed by the shopping section. too little pieces and too little inspiration. Some of the stories are worth reading though (I like the one with the hair stylist talking about her clients)...they photoshoped JLo's pix too much...on the picture with her having the mini skirt on, the legs look wrong to me. Just compare with the candid pictures and you'll know what I mean.

the cover couldnt hav been bad if it wasnt for the words and maybe the pose. the ed on the other hand is not to applealing maybe the photo where she is in the green top and a blazer.
adriana looks good and taller than she usually does
