The retouching is at a criminal level, look at those legs... There's no way people find this acceptable!

At least it’s Joan, so I don’t care for anything else. Bravo Joan!

 

[Kimy Jo]

Cute

Smalls is definitely over-retouched but I think that it is a very good cover. It has a cool and unusual color palette and it is interesting to look at. Smalls looks stunning.

It’s giving Angela Bassett here which I’m not against, but something seems a little stiff with Joan here:

What a stunning face shot! And all the colors are to die for!

^^^ Someone's just discovered Photoshop basic filters...

The retouching is at a criminal level, look at those legs... There's no way people find this acceptable!

For a whole ignorant population that’s conditioned to the sloppy and cheap mess that’s facetune and filters, this 1st-year graphic design course D+ assignment is what passes for gold standard.

If I’m being really really really kind and grasping for straw, I’d say that this cut-and-paste result is a tribute to Jean-Paul Goude’s work with Grace Jones— cuz those 2D pillows are not what she was originally sitting on LMFAO

You don't call for Joan Smalls and then make her sit on a pile of cushions like she's got hemorrhoids!

Nice to see Ms. Smalls landing a new Vogue cover.
The intention is good, but I find the production weak, and it makes me realize how much I need to see her through Raphael Pavarotti's lens

 

[WAVES]

Joan looks gorgeous on the 2nd cover!

I'm truly angry when I see such BAD CHEAP results!!!
She's a TOP INTERNATIONAL FASHION MODEL and you do this???
The stylist should be fired and never work again.
The retouching is crazy bad!
The photo filters are basic and bad!
I can't freakin' believe IMG and her agents and herself agreed to these results.
We all know that when you reach a high level in the industry people can see the results and a preview prior publishing. I can't honestly believe Joan agreed to this or IMG or the photographer.
It's clearly a photoshop disaster all around.
The closeup shot is better but even the layout is f****ed-up and don't get me started on the colors.
Gosh it's bad!!!

Are they gonna keep that 5 tied up with the V in the masthead for the whole year?
I thought that was just for the anniversary issue they had. It's a mainstay? Like, get rid of it.

Yes they are celebrating for the entire year

This issue has a long editorial with great Brazilian models, it should be the cover story, not Joan, who is not relevant to us, but is a favorite of the magazine's producers.
