Magazine Preview Assignment Post 3 "Favorite"

 "New York’s “Spring Fashion” cover with actress Elle Fanning has artist Will Cotton revisiting Johannes Vermeer’s famous painting “Girl With a Pearl Earring” in pose, expression, and lighting, while Fanning’s Vivienne Westwood–inspired headpiece made of icing and designed by Cotton prepares readers for the stunning “Candy Land” portfolio inside the magazine. Cotton has been using candy in his artwork “as a metaphor for pure pleasure” since the late nineties, and used spring looks as inspiration for New York."

This magazine cover photo is a portrait of a woman with something like a bouquet of flowers on her head. The woman is pale, but her skin is even and smooth. Her shoulders are angled since her body is facing the left side, but her face is turned and her attention is focused on the camera. Her expression reveals that she is calm and curious. Her look is mostly natural, but she has on red lipstick. Her eyes look green and her hair is a light color. There's nothing in the background, it's just black, and the woman's shoulder's and back of her neck is covered in shadow. The text of the name of the magazine is partially hidden behind the flowers on the woman's head, and the rest of the text surrounds her. The photo inspires spring fashion and art style.
