Best Covers

Blog #3

Winner
FamilyFun, August 2014, Road Trip
"For our August 2014 issue, FamilyFun commissioned photographer Sabrina Helas to shoot our cover story on family road trips. The minute we saw this image in the film, we knew we had our cover. Shot at The Corner Store in San Pedro, CA, the photo is filled with the kind of joyful, authentic details we love — the vintage blue bottle, the candy bracelet, the world's best burger, and a side-glancing smile of delight from 6-year-old Isaac. Intriguing and spontaneous-feeling, it sums up what our brand is all about: making happy memories with your kids."
This was my favorite cover because all the colors in the portrait and even in the writing come together and make the magazine stand out in a fun, whimsical way. The little girl on the cover and all the colorful things she is surrounded with makes the cover appealing by making it more lively and building a feeling of happiness. These factors come together and create a magazine that looks irresistible to buy. In addition, the cover gives good brief information about what is going to be inside so people who are just scanning will be able to tell what they will be reading about. This also makes the magazine look worth your time and investment because it appears to have so many tips and information that will benefit the readers.
