This magazine cover of Interview was designed by Richard Bernstein and features Andy Warhol photographing model Grace Jones for the December 1972 issue. Warhol founded the magazine in 1969 and featured unedited interviews with celebrities along with photographs and striking ads.
The portrait on this cover is really good, for it captures the laughter in the girls face, not just in her smile, but also in her eyes. I like the background since it really pulls the girl out and since the guy is wearing black it pulls him out, so they are not merged in with the background.

Cover History
Cover types:
1. Early Magazine Covers-
Early Magazine Covers were not really covers, they mainly looked like title pages in books. Not telling anything that was inside the magazine, just the name, publication date, and who made it. It might have a small illustration, that appeared to have a decorative purpose, rather than to illustrate the contents. In the late 1800s they started putting more on the cover such as, if the magazine talked about music, art, or science.
2. The Poster Cover-
The Poster Cover started having color in the magazine covers. Most of the illustration looked as if they were suppose to be framed and hung on a wall instead of on a magazine cover. These still did not say what was waiting on the inside of the magazine, just a photo of something that might be in there.
3. Pictures Married to Type-
The Pictures Married to Type magazine cover relied heavily on cover lines to draw readers inside in a more definite way than the cover art could accomplish. These covers had some titles of some stories that were in the magazine, but not many.
4. In the Forest of Words-
In the Forest of Words magazine cover, almost the entire cover is covered with descriptions of stories that are inside the magazine. Some story headlines were larger than the actual title of the magazine.
