#15 Harper's Bazaar (April 1965)
This cover of Harper's Bazaar is a photograph of model Jean Shrimpton by photographer Richard Avedon. The cover of Shrimpton peering from behind a bright pink Day-Glo space helmet was designed by Art Directors Ruth Ansel and Bea Feitler. This photograph, with the Harper's Bazaar logo vibrating against it in acid green has been often reproduced as an emblem of the sixties.
MY CRITIQUE
I really like this cover because of the amount of eye contact. And also how its so simple and the makeup really represents the time in which this was taken, which is the 60's. I like the simplicity and also the weird aspect as the model is wearing a unique headpiece, which perfectly frames her face maintaining the attention on her. The lighting is perfect as the model is well illuminated and is seem in a crisp image. The cover lines are small which allows the viewer to maintain the focus on the model which I enjoy.
