I seriously find it annoying when magazines put "The September Issue" on the cover of their September issue. Redundant. Especially so, like in this case, when it adds nothing to the cover. It feels like a giant nuisance.
I'm also having issues with consistency. First, the way the covers are cropped. They should've kept it with the profile photos. Second, the color that they used for the "September Issue" for the second and third covers just kills the mood. They should have retained the orange text all through out.
Another set of September covers that I'm disappointed about.
