My favorite Cover

"For W’s December/January Art Issue, the magazine collaborated with artist Yayoi Kusama to create this iconic cover image depicting George Clooney. The visually arresting image is the highlight of the cover story, for which five leading female artists were invited to create interpretive portraits of the actor. Clooney wears a suit painted by Kusama with her signature polka dots and stands against a polka-dotted backdrop. Planned to coincide with the opening of an exhibition of new work by Kusama at David Zwirner Gallery, the cover makes a powerful reference to the artist’s iconic self-portraits."


This cover does a good job of catching the eye. It has a very interesting and distracting pattern. It also uses a cool and unique merger. Since the suit has the sam pattern as the background his body merges with it sparking curiosity. The portrait is exposed properly and is focused and crisp. One thing I would change about this cover is the font. Especially with this pattern the title is hard to read.
