my favorite cover

favorite cover: 

description: "Billboard’s annual Women in Music issue was led by a stunning figure of poise, strength and beauty: Selena Gomez, who had spent the year blossoming into a progressive pop artist, covers the issue as the Woman of the Year. Photographed at the Paramour Mansion in Los Angeles by Ruven Afanador, Gomez’s delivers a look that pierces through the adult opulence surrounding her; she’s come a long way since her Disney days, and her regal pose signifies her newfound power. Showcasing one of Gomez's most personal interviews to date, the cover underlines the unbreakable spirit at the heart of the story."
critique: I chose this billboard cover as my favorite mostly because of the colors. The colors stood out to me because they're all in the same color scheme and they match well together. Everything about the photo looks vintage such as the couch, head statue in the back, rug, and dress. The way that she is so obviously dressed up, has her makeup done but is barefoot makes you wonder. How her foot is balanced on the couch makes it look like it's hovering over her name, and pointing to the name of the magazine. It's conclusion it is a very pleasing magazine cover. The overall lighting is good and the photo looks soft, if that makes sense.
