My favorite cover

Vanity Fair, January 2012: "Lady Gaga"





This Magazine shows bright colors as the main image. The Masthead is white making the title pop out with the red. The model is Singer lady gaga. Lady gaga is very different meaning she has a unique style so she's dressed in this red outfit. There is major contrast in the photo because you can see shadows. There is no barcode on the third left.  The lighting is dim. on the top it says japan so this was the style in Japan.
