Pasetsky’s Cover Critique
Introducing the Life & Style killer.
Star magazine’s photo director should win an award for finding this picture.
I’ve looked at this closely and even after staring at it for quite a bit I can’t tell if Angie’s pregnant or not in the pic.
So the pictures possibly old?
Pasetsky’s Cover Critique
This cover is emotional and actually quite sweet.
It’s very difficult to get a cover to make you feel something - and this one does.
Why?
Pasetsky’s Cover Critique
First, I must apologize for the poor image - but Star was not available on the newsstand this morning???
Moving on.

Disaster strikes!
The main story is featuring “House.” Yes, it’s a popular show and I watch it. But, it’s one of those show that has a very narrow group of fans. And, I had to read the line twice to get what the editors were talking about.

This is a one note cover for In Touch.
What does that mean you ask?
Pasetsky’s Cover Critique
Wow! This cover even surprised me.
It is soooo bad.
And the timing is peculiar or not - depending on how you look at it.

Talk about big gets!
Life & Style has an exclusive with Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and this looks TOTALLY riveting.
According to the mag’s cover, Shiloh feels so left out and is LONELY.
Doesn’t this just want to make you cry?
Okay - let’s get serious for a moment.
Pasetsky’s Cover Critique
Globe offers its readers a strong cover this week featuring Ted Kennedy.
People are still shocked by his diagnosis and with the big cancer initiative in the news, this cover is very timely.
Pasetsky’s Cover Critique
Very good timing for First!
The mag decides to use Jen Aniston on the cover as she’s finally gaining heat in the media. Jen’s relationship with John Mayer has everybody buzzing.
What they won’t be buzzing about is this cover that is a DESIGN DISASTER.
It’s about Jen’s secret fat-buster. And what do we see?
Jen’s head!
Why don’t we see a full body shot? Or why don’t we see one of the hundreds of new photos of Jen in a bikini inset on the cover.
Instead there’s an inset of Mariah Carey - so strange.
Bottom Line: Strong sales because First is a good magazine despite its weak cover design.
