Portrait/Self Portrait

Favorite cover

The editors’ description of the cover: "Just open the August 2011 issue and you'll find Mila Kunis looking sultry and super-sexy. But for the cover, we kept coming back to an off-the-cuff moment caught by Terry Richardson: her sipping an iced coffee, giant grin on her face, a bit of midriff exposed, eyes flashing. On the newsstands, surrounded by the usual array of too-perfect, too-posed beauties, her GQ cover is a total surprise; it has this immediacy, it feels new. That's because Mila looks exactly like herself here: authentic, exuberant, teasing, bold, utterly at ease and absurdly, mind-meltingly gorgeous. Iced coffee never looked so hot." 
I like this photo because I LOVE Mila Kunis because she's hotttttttttt. This picture was good because it caught her off guard and she still looks gorgeous. The lighting was perfect for the shot and it was awesome.

Magazine Tips

1. Familiar recognition from issue to issue (that’s the brand)

2. Emotionally irresistible (that’s the image’s appeal)


3. Intellectually stimulating, interesting (that’s to promise benefits)

4. Worth the investment of money and time (that’s the “What’s in it for me?”)

5. It glows in vivid colors that will inevitably turn disappointingly dull when printed in ink. A hard-copy printout may be closer.
