This magazine cover is my favorite because of the stand out white that drew my eye. This cover looks pure and clean on a shelf with other cluttered magazines, muddy with words and too much going on. Gwyneth's skin is glowing and clear, and the netting over her face is mysterious and elegant with her blue eyes glowing from behind the veil. Some critiques that would improve the magazine cover even more would be if the exposure of the camera was lowered slightly. The background is white, the veil is white, and Gwyneth is also pale, so the intense exposure and lighting makes the shot bright and stark, and if it were lowered slightly, it wouldn't wash out her face. Having the magazine cover title in a bold black with a thick and elaborate font, wouldn't have been my choice either. The font draws you attention away from her glowy and angelic face, which should be the main focus of the cover. Having a bold black cover title that covers up her hair and parts of the beautifully designed cap/crown could've been better placed under her chin, and completely removed from her face completely. Despite these slight improvements, the shot is beautifully shot with an angelic and timeless vibe that draws the eye and makes you wonder what's in the pages.
