Go take a nap bae.

she looks airbrushed to death in order to look like a young leonardo di caprio in drag. what's happening here

I actually prefer this shot to the one currently on British Glamour, but they've ruined it with this art direction. She does look over it, or maybe it's just her 'wistful' face. Also the cropping was unnecessary.

I'm guessing this shoot was actually for US Glamour and the British edition just got a cover out of it?

I just can't see how it's appealing or practical for people passing newsstands to read the wonky coverlines and in turn entice them to buy. The masthead is so obscured, one more letter and we'd have no idea what magazine it is. Does Blake have projects to promote?

The photoshop is crazy! So are the fonts

 

[narcyza]

Awful. Really glamour is so bad now.

^^^ Not at all, Urban Stylin.

Consumer publications/catalogue/flyer offerings are still into the whole heavy-plastic-retouching aesthetic of 10 years ago.

Glamour, InStyle and Anna’s Vogue are the outlet malls of fashion publications that middle-America are gulping up, so this brand of 3 years behind other more higher-end fashion publications in terms of creative/art/fashion direction makes total sense for their demographic. Along with Blake— who’s dethroned Jennifer Aniston as the commoner’s It-girl.

Their readers will love this brand of DIY-layout, as tired-looking as it may be for those in the know. My problem is the HUGE negative space that’s around her arm: Is it a placeholder for a coverline that was meant to look like a tattoo that got pulled at the last moment before press…???

 

[t-rex]

She literally looks like she just woke up a second ago from a sick day nap and they tried to photoshop her to look better. so bad

The shot in the black slip is the UK Glamour cover.

 

[Handbag Queen]

I like the cover! Something about it (maybe the floral choker!) kind of reminds me of Olivia Wilde's Glamour cover from a couple of years back.

 

[Mille Backer]

Awful! I love her but this is so weird...

 

[SallyAlbright]

Probably her worst ever cover. Is she promoting something?

 

[RanThe]

Not the best shot of Blake. Who is so gorgeous! Glamour has been hot and cold all year with their cover photos. Love all the cover subject, but cover wise they have been not killing it!

I think the cropping throws me off.

 

[Benn98]

Last time I checked Glamour was a magazine for grown women, so why does the art direction look like something which belongs on Seventeen? Don't get it at all.

 

[tigerrouge]

I think the issue with Blake is that she doesn't have the most classically beautiful face, therefore all the glory comes from how she's styled.

A stripped-down look might look sleek on some, but it tends to fall flat on her. Yet give everything a light touch of glamour - and she suddenly becomes appealing.
