My favorite cover

DESCRIPTION

Runner's World, October 2014, Nutrition Special

"Runner's World's October 2015 issue featured our first major redesign in six years--and a new cover approach to go with it. We redesigned the magazine to be, among other things, more visual, more fun, and more reflective of what's happening in the sport and in the running community, which has been growing at a hectic pace as more people of all types have taken up the sport. That means fresh typefaces, bolder tones, and a series of new sections to evoke a more contemporary, useful, and delightful experience for our readers.

The visual changes begin on the cover, with a new, updated logo--which we like to think of as having longer, slimmer legs. The majority of our cover lines are presented in the same sans-serif typeface (Titling Gothic) that our new logo is built upon, for a clean and streamlined look. But to add some splash and a little contrast, we styled the large numbers in a handsome stenciled serif (Danmark). Playing off the deep red wall in the cover photo, we chose a vibrant, orange-red neon ink to give our new logo an extra kick.

Equally important, our cover subject isn't an elite athlete or a model-runner. She's a regular runner who has a job and a kid and a passion for staying fit and healthy, as well as a distinctive sense of running style--a "Street Style," one of the new sections we unveil in the issue. The cover photo was shot as a profile in an urban environment, both departures for us. We chose it because it felt simultaneously authentic and forward-looking, two qualities deeply embedded in Runner's World's DNA."

CRITIQUE

The picture mistaken with very good exposure to lighting, and has a good idea or concept. The portrait is a environmental picture because it shows the young lady doing the hobby she loves. I like that the photo contains photo compositions such as lines and background. The lines on the brick as well as the sidewalk makes the picture more appealing to the audience. The nutrition of the runners is communicated as well as athletes this is done by showing a lady running while wearing socks that say "vegan" to show that nutrition is important. I wish the picture contained more than one person and maybe show some kind of food or example of what would be a perfect diet.
