Critique: This is a recent design for Vman magazine. I absolutely love this cover. I really like how the text is placed on the magazine. I feel a lot of magazine covers feature too many text on the cover. Keeping it to a minimum is great because you pay more attention to the actual cover, rather than having a lot of text get in the way of the image on the cover. The colours used are great. It has great contrast with the black background. The photography was done by Karl Lagerfeld, who is a popular designer. And the coolest thing about this cover is the bill coming out of Mr. Wests' mouth is actually real. They either glued or somehow attached an actual dollar to the cover, which I think is really cool. Unfortunately, I was unable to find a retailer around Toronto to purchase the copy and see it in person.
