For W's biggest fashion issue of the year, the magazine celebrated the ways women today transform themselves by showcasing actress Kristen Stewart as readers had never seen her before. Photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot transformed the 21-year-old cover model from the Twilight teenager that audiences know best into the glamorous, grown-up vixen she's becoming. "Vampires are a little dangerous—and we girls like to test ourselves," Stewart says playfully on the cover, tempting readers to pick up the issue and see for themselves.

This photo is communicated with fashion. I really like fashion or anything dealing with it. Kristen Stewart  is in Twilight and I also like Twilight, that's another reason that I picked this article. In this photo she looks older then is she really is, but Im pretty sure thats what they were going for and they succeeded. 

Magazine Tips

One cover stands out vividly from the thousands in my half century of magazine-ing.
The cover carried all the usual elements, but they were blended by the color, and that simplicity popped it out from its surrounding, gaudy competition.
One of them decided to abandon fashionable elegance and do some hard-selling by covering the cover with as many pictorial and verbal appeals as they could squeeze in, using every color (especially process yellow), typeface, angle, overlap, silhouetting, shadow and trick.

I want to be in Newspaper because I want to keep going in photojournalism.  And maybe do something with it whenever I get older. I like photojournalism because we get to express ourselves with cameras and learn new techniques to use. I really like working with cameras because its fun.
