My Favorite Cover

 Favorite Cover

The editors’ description of the cover: "Official word of Steve Jobs' death reached Bloomberg Businessweek as the staff of over 40 was finishing a regular issue. They scrapped it and spent all night finalizing this special issue. In choosing a cover, editor Josh Tyrangiel said, ‘what we wanted to find was something that you hadn't seen before, something original, and yet something that had a little bit of tension in it.’ Tyrangiel concludes, ‘I think what we found and the way we cropped it really gets at the complicated, sometimes abrasive genius behind all the products that the world admires.’"

Critique:This cover of this magazine reaches out to a lot of people in a way that people will miss him and the products he would produce with his company,Apple.Many people have Apple products ranging from their iPhones to their expensive but eye catching Macbook laptops. The black and white adds to the effect of you feeling sad about him passing away.It also shows when he was born and when he died which would be the same year if people say this in 2011. Bloomberg Businessweek also did a great job in cropping out half his face which looks really good and you only need to see half of his face to know who he is anyways since he was a huge person in the world of computers and a person many people looked up to.
