This famous Rolling Stone cover, featuring John Lennon (of Beatles Fame) and his notoriously eccentric lover Yoko Ono, achieved its dramatic impact with more than mere nudity. The color scheme is very controlled, subdued. The background blends in seamlessly with the skin, clothes, and hair. The pose is romantic, humorous, erotic, and pensive at the same time. The magazine knew it did not need to publicize the subject in text. Rolling Stone let the image speak for itself, further peaking the viewers' interest.
On this cover, we again see the power of a controlled color scheme. The bold lines and compelling colors in the illustration make a dramatic impact.
This cover of UpTown Magazine is intriguing. The faces of Obama and Spike Lee are superimposed, melded into one. It really grabs the viewers' attention, because it drastically tampers with an extremely familiar image. Like the first two covers, we see a very controlled palette.
