Do you think a magazine cover such as these would sell well today? No 'celebrity' Kardashians or overly air-brushed photographs of interiors; rather a well rendered image by an artist on a topic covered in the issue.
Imagine a special issue of
Architectural Digest or
Elle Decor on which
Jeremiah Goodman produced the cover. Am I crazy or would this be a wonderful thing and have the design world abuzz? I'm not talking inside the magazine, just the cover; don't take away my pretty photographs! If magazines are always looking for something new, isn't doing something this 'old' the latest thing?
Another 'old' thing I would love to see in a design magazine spread; Detailed floorplans (oh how a boy can dream.......). Everyone loves a floorplan! Yes or no, am I crazy (I realize thats a whole other question!)?
I would go nuts if AD or Elle Decor put a Jeremiah Goodman on the cover. Its a terrific idea!
ReplyDeleteOr a Kerry Steele? ;-)
ReplyDeleteA very YES on both counts!
ReplyDeletewhat?! in order to push advertising, it must be so-did you read recently that AW said Vogue could not always be tasteful? it had to sometimes shock, and must be talked about,re her Kim-Kanye cover. Nothing will change. We are all dreamers- the best kind-that is why we must keep our blogs alive and well. Stefan, you offer wonderful content, and always original. thank you for that. pgt
ReplyDeleteI like the top cover, which is classic and inspirational. Imagine getting someone like Michael Hampton to do some architectural watercolours for a cover?
ReplyDeleteI love floor plans. It would be awesome to see them in the magazine.
