The best way to obtain a truly unique lead mag image is to initiate a contest, much like the Volt Magazine Cover Competition has done for its eighth issue. Attracting a variety of very different designs from various creatives, the fruits of this first-page fashion spread are quite compelling.
Using the same model's photo by Rankin, each of the designers have reinvented the mag with a different theme based on the strongest characteristics of the minimal image. With most extrapolating creatively on the model's lips and hair, the Volt Magazine Cover Competition will be a close call to announce.
