I.D Love issue

I.D magazine was created in 1980 and ever since has been a inspiration of fashion culture. Though it is more than just a fashion magazine, it includes articles about modern life and how it impacts fashion, music, love and todays art forms. It is a great source to discover different photographers and designers and is personally one of my favourite forms of magazines because of its diversity to others such as Vogue and Elle, as it is more than just about the fashion, and centres identity which makes it more particular. I find it extraordinary because of the photography it includes and the stories behind them and how it focus's on youth culture and targets new fresh talent and has kept that element since it was founded.  One of the reasons I.D has became a popular magazine over the years, is because of its front covers. On each issue the cover model is winking and smiling, it is a visual representation of the magazines logo rather than including a graphical image, making it's presence a lot more interesting. This years fall issue focus's on Love and what it means to various amounts of people in the creative industry. This subject is especially extraordinary because this exactly is the feeling generally would agree to feel when they love something, wether it maybe their family members, pets, hobbies, passion, ambition or boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife. Everyone has a different perception of love which is what makes it so extraordinary, such as what someone would do for you or how it makes you look or what it does to you in the way you act or feel. However in the end, the meaning's of love always link together. What I also find alluring about this issue is the way the photographers have arranged the models how to pose, which links in with love. On each image where there is more than one person, they are touching in someway or looking at the other person, that makes them seem connected and makes the audience feel what the article is about and by reading the quotes and questions that surround the photographs, it presents the emotion and subject of what the issue is about, which is what also makes its a very good editorial magazine. The images below are what I consider to be the most strongest extraordinary and editorial of this source and what define this issue
