The New York Times Magazine, September 14, 2014, The Culture Issue
Photographer: Victoria Diehl
Designer: Raul Aguilla
"For the cover of the magazine’s annual Culture issue, the artist Victoria Diehl rendered Lena Dunham in the style of an ancient Greek bust. This juxtaposition of the modern and the classical highlights the issue’s underlying theme: the waning of the patriarchy in art and culture, and the rise of other kinds of voices. Modern typography inspired by old-style calligraphic letterforms completes the design."
This is my favorite cover because it is extremely captivating and different than other magazine covers. The combined affects of makeup and photoshop turn the model into a bust, showing a perfect picture of what is going to be covered in the magazine. I like how the background is completely black, so the model, painted in white, stands out so much. I also like the font style and color chosen. It combines the modern magazine with the aspect of classical culture. Although most of this photo was photoshopped, the portion that was not was taken with with the right exposure and other settings.
