My Favorite Cover (cover preview assignment)

favorite

"It just might be one of the great hair days of all time. For O, The Oprah Magazine’s September 2013 hair-a-palooza issue, photographer Ruven Afanador captured Oprah Winfrey radiant in a magnificent Afro. (As was widely reported, the wig, which Oprah christened “Wild Thang,” weighed about the same as a Chihuahua.) The cover sparked “’Froprah” mania, garnering 337,346,650 media impressions; Oprah’s Instagram of the image drew some 75,000 likes in 24 hours. After 13 years and more than 160 issues with the same cover model (how’s that for a challenge?), O can still surprise, delight, and pump up the volume like nobody else."

I like this cover a lot because I like how much character she has in her facial expression, I think its very appealing to the eye to look at a photo of someone with a giant smile. I think it's really creative what they did with her hair, I like how it takes up a lot of the photo and it really draws your attention. It also fits great with what their magazine issue is about so the topic is easy to pick up on. The colors go really well with the mood of the photo and match her expression. The colors are really bright and vibrant so it again gives the magazine that happy feeling.
