Pasetsky’s Cover Critique
Does that photo of Barack Obama being held by his mom look familiar.
It should - especially if you are addicted to CoverAwards like I am. (Oh wait, I write this blog - so I should be.)
Anyhow, click here to see it as it appeared recently on Time Magazine.
The big question is whether or not that is a bad thing?
Pasetsky’s Cover Critique
I’m totally mixed on this cover as you can tell - and that doesn’t happen often.
On a positive note, it is dramatic and you have Jamie storming off.
(With Star’s recent track record of using photos to misrepresent cover lines, this is probably a photo of Jamie Lynn heading to a 7-11 to get a Big Gulp. Yum! That sounds refreshing right now.)
Jamie Lynn is also due any second so the timing is good - even if the story isn’t true.
Why don’t I like it?
I’m not so sure that the reader is that vested in a Jamie Lynn wedding. If she doesn’t marry this guy (yes his name is Casey), will anybody REALLY care?
And there’s the problem with this cover.
Bottom line: Uncertain
