nice cover, yay for Joan.

I don't like the background and text color. They could do with a different color palette with this pic

I love how Joan looks on this cover, the only problem is the color of the text. But she looks beautiful here, it's a decent cover in my opinion

I like everything about this cover but her face. There's something distracting about it. The expression? The makeup? Photoshop? I can't quite put my finger on it.

Regardless kudos to VR for producing a pretty cover reminiscent of the Doletskaya era.

A nice departure from the dull and depressing March cover. This feels fresh and rejuvenated due to the colours used. But, Joan has been Photoshopped into oblivion. Almost to the point where she looks computer-generated. Thanks for posting, Valentine27.

It would have been a nice vintage looking cover but her expression and the photoshop killed it

 

[Bertrando3]

joan has been on a number of vogue covers now and i really don't think they do her justice at all.

I agree, I love her as a model, I think she's amazing: awesome on the runways, killing it on campaigns and beauty ads but on her Vogue covers it seems that she doesn't know how to connect: she looks weird/vampire-esque, the eyes are dead and she doesn't bring the Vogue essence. It's sad that her only great Vogue cover was her Australian Vogue but all the others are not as good.

what did they do to her face with the photoshop?

 

[Gabilan6]

I actually love the cover! She looks very femenine, although the exceed a bit to much with the Photoshop.

 

[mikel]

She almost looks like a vampire with her pale complexion and slightly red looking eyes.

 

[alonsoJonathan]

She looks like Kim Kardashian. Doesnt she? Or is it just me

 

[maxlinden]

Why can't they get this girls face right? Is she that hard to photoshop?

 

[julien520]

she looks so sleepy someone need to punch her to wake her up,hello,is she aware of the fact that she is no.1 at MDC

 

[fashionlover2001]

This is, IMO, one of Joan's best Covers to date. The hair and face look beautiful.

I just feel that regardless of whether Joan has any good Covers or Not, people are just going to find a negative and criticize her. It's Sad.

I guess we all have opinions...

 

[ad041715]

^ My my, isn't that a biased presumption...

 

[Mockingbird]

This is like Kate Moss at her worst: dead and over-photoshopped. Which is a shame, because a different facial expression and a LOT less photoshop could've made this a pretty cover.

 

[KKnardi]

^agree, though I think it's a little of an awkward pose...
