"Where" Magazine, uh, I think y'all need to fire your art department

“Where” is an innocuous travel magazine - The kind of thing you expect to find in hotel lobbies. But I can’t help but think that somebody in the art department has an ax to grind or something . This is an image of two of the recent covers.

I think it’s hilarious that no one at the magazine stopped to say “uh, fellas, about the cover…”

Took me a minute, but it was worth it…

Too funny!

SFX magazine sometimes does this deliberately.

:smiley:

Probably disappointed a few lonely travelers when they realized the magazine wasn’t what they’d hoped…

makes the mag higher priced.

No way in hell did that not get noticed. No way in hell.

Hey, you’re traveling to an exotic location, you’re going to want to sample some local pleasures.

I almost had mine confiscated once when I was getting back to the army barracks, despite the cover picture being decidedly unsexy.

The best part is I read it as “Orange County Wh*re”. Regional!

The best part is I read it as “Orange County Wh*re”. Sounds like one of those cheap, free swingers mags you find near bus stops. So I’ve heard…

Double post. I haven’t been this embarrassed since that one time at the bus stop.

I know this isn’t what you’re talking about, but for the image on the left, I’m having a hard time telling if those round portal things behind her are anything but washing machines at a laundromat.

They’re wine casks.

Hoes love wine.

Completely didn’t notice that. I thought you were talking about the odd photo angles/ photoshop on the covers: the first one makes the model look like she has a single giant boob in the center of the chest, and the second girl appears to be missing an arm.

There is a traffic safety slogan round my neck of the woods - “If you drink and drive, you’re a bloody idiot.”

This could be shortened on placards to something like this:

DRINK DRIVE
BLOODY IDIOT

So I was most amused one evening to spot a worthy politician spouting off about somethingorother in front of one of those signs, while the partly-obscured banner urged the viewer to:

DRINK
BLOOD

actually it’s good artistic use of the space. it’s symmetrical. features the main subject of the cover, head isn’t chopped at the chin so it looks more realistic and larger. all this for only minimal intrusion into other elements of the cover.

word has it they are also making a large section in the rear of the magazine for ‘personal’ ads.

Whore magazine? I thought they stopped making those back in the seventies…
