“She looks beautiful. A nice surprise from Allure. I’ve been quite happy with their cover choices this year. Definitely not predictable as others,” admired A.D.C. right away.
“What a stunning shot of Salma! Beautiful!” added a satisfied Nepenthes.
Also full of appreciation was RanThe: “It’s nice to see someone on a cover of a magazine that isn’t overly used.”
Though there’s no denying the cover’s beauty, the amount of text leaves a lot to be desired. “Obnoxious oversized font taking attention away from a truly phenomenal image. I know we need to know what is inside the issue but surely there is a way to include all pertinent information without overwhelming the image,” said Luxx.
Kokobombon agreed: “I love the image, so powerful – that eyebrow! Too bad the layout takes away from it. What were they thinking? Members from The Cover Challenge thread handle layouts better than this,” she declared.
“The text deserves a special place in hell for ruining an otherwise stunning cover image,” scorned marsnoop2.
