Magazine Covers.

 In the forest of words.



 Poster Cover.
 Photos married to type.



Early Magazine covers.

Favorite.





This magazine cover of the November 20, 2000, issue of Newsweek is entitled, "The Winner Is," with a photo of half George W. Bush and half Al Gore. The presidential election had taken place earlier that month, but there was still no clear winner declared because of the close ballot count in the state of Florida. In this issue, Newsweek chronicled the lawsuits, court challenges and endless counting of ballots. The following month, George W. Bush was declared the winner of the closest presidential election in United States history.


In this magazine it shows that America didn't know who was to become president. It also says on the magazine "The Inside Story of America's Closest, Craziest Election. That clearly tells you how everyone was unclear of who won. In the main photo on the magazine it's both electives split into one with half of their faces.
