# Political Planetary Covers New York Times Magazine's Planet Hillary Cover is Out of this World By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-01-23 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planet-hillary References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2014/01/23/planet-hillary-photoshop-cover/) & [6thfloor.blogs.nytimes](http://6thfloor.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/01/23/how-our-hillary-clinton-cover-came-about/?_php=true&_type=blogs&ref=magazine&_r=0) The Planet Hillary magazine cover is getting a lot of attention on the internet. New York Times Magazine released a preview of the cover on Thursday, January 23, 2014, which shows Hillary Clinton's face photoshopped onto a planet with a [galaxy themed background](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-planet-ii-black-star). The bizarre photoshopped graphic has led to several copycat versions on the internet, including one of the recently arrested Justin Bieber and another where Miley Cyrus rides Planet Hillary like a wrecking ball. The same photoshopped image can be seen as the sun featured in the Teletubbies and as a ball in President Barack Obama's hands. The absurd and hilarious nature of the photoshopped Planet Hillary cover resulted in the magazine's website releasing a post on how the cover concept was conceived and images of other Planet Hillarys that did not make the cut. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Political Satire Covers:** Opportunity for media outlets to create attention-grabbing covers that poke fun at politicians and political campaigns. - **Viral Photoshopped Images:** Opportunity for consumers to take a popular image and modify it to create their own unique content that captures the public's attention. - **Internet Memes:** Opportunity to create shareable and humorous images that reference pop culture and current events to create a viral trend. ### Where This Applies - **Media and Publishing:** Industry that can create covers and online content that engages the public and generates buzz and traffic. - **Social Media and Networking:** Industry that hosts and distributes user-generated content that can turn a popular image into a viral meme. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Industry that can use the power of internet memes to market and promote products and services in a humorous and entertaining way. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Imaging Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pic-2-planet.md) - [Imaginative Buildable Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-and-wallpaper.md) - [Extraterrestrial Influencer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alien-acquisition.md) - [Planetary Ketchup Condiments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunts-uranus-ketchup.md) - [Pop Culture Presidency Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brat.md) - [Otherworldly Fashion Brand Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vollebak-mars-billboard.md) - [Planet-Resembling Watch Faces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-time.md) - [Body Paint Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela.md) - [Cosmically Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punk-stargonaut.md)
