April ish is out! Plus, the cover that didn’t make it

2010 posted in What's In The Mag by Rachelle, Real Living Editor-in-Chief.

Real Living’s April issue will be out tomorrow, and we’re pretty much excited!!! Here’s a sneak peek at the cover…

In store for you this April: the New Tropical Style (no rattan involved!), how to summerize a boring home, cut back your summer electric bill, plus a simple but stunning Real Makeover that only entailed a new wash of paint, and moving furniture around!

In the meantime, here’s the cover that didn’t make it (styled by Gwyn Guanzon, shot by Miguel Nacianceno, produced by Tisha Alvarez). It’s real sweet, and I believe it shows the essence of summer. But let us know what you think!!! Comments are welcome. (Current cover photo by Toto Labrador)  :) Real Living is available at newsstands and bookstores nationwide for P140.

    HAHA. I like the actual cover. Because it’s mod and I’m biased like that :D

    no biases because we know (and like!) both photogs, but we think you made the right choice. in another (recent) life, we used to have the task of picking covers, and it’s not necessarily the “better” or more “bongga” picture that makes it. the cleaner, less busy photo is better because you have to consider the many cover lines you have to add. the second photo might be brighter, but all those colors, prints, and many elements/items are confusing to the eye, i.e., the eye does not know where to focus. (unlike the first photo, the eye can “rest” on that printed chair.) and forget about the cover lines! (what cover lines??) the second photo would look better as an opening spread with one bold headline. sorry ha pero naging lesson na toh on “how to pick the best cover” haha
