The Cover Issue

17/03/11

For my project we also have to shoot a cover image for the magazine we have chosen to write our long article for. I have researched many old interview magazine covers to see if there is a common thread running through them (apart from the title) but have discovered they are all quite different and individual, however most of the most recent covers show a close-up image of the models face. Interview are not afraid to be bold with their typography as is evident in this cover from November 1991:



The cover I hope to produce is inspired by the recent Thierry Mugler by Nicola Formichetti menswear collection which featured one of the most tattooed men in the world, Rick Genest, aka 'Zombie Boy' and other models swathed in translucent fabric. I have also been looking at portraits by Hedi Slimane, Dior designer turned photographer and art director.
