My Favorite Cover




Photographer: Martin Schoeller
Designer: Arem Duplessis
"For this cover story on the U.S. women’s ski-jumping team, we featured the Olympic hopeful Sarah Hendrickson as photographed by Martin Schoeller. Schoeller captures the competitive spirit of Hendrickson, who wears her competition gear, in her body posture and intense gaze."

There are certain things that made me chose this picture for my favorite cover. First of all there is such simplicity in the chile cover. All that the magazine is talking about is Sarah Hendrickson and how close she was to winning the gold medal. The color in the photo is so precise and again really simple. 
I like how the girl is made not to smile because it adds to the seriousness of the mood set in the photo.The level of her eyebrows and how one is going up while one stays the same. The main reason I chose this picture is because I like simplicity and how serious photos an be. Lastly, I liked the way her goggles and her vest and also her black helmet match. I also like how the photographers chose to put a gray background to bring out the color of her face and her suit she is wearing.
