Photo reblogged from Newsweek with 88 notes

newsweek: Our talented art & photo department explains how the team chose and designed this week’s cover: The Romney/Book of Mormon cover was designed to capture this cultural moment where Mormonism is in the spotlight—from politics, to theater, to business, etc. With Romney’s presidential campaign announcement last week and the Tony awards just around the corner, this was the perfect opportunity to capitalize on those news stories and create a memorable, eye-catching cover. We wanted to create a movie poster—hence the slanted typography and the clean black, white, and red palette. One thing I’ve noticed lately is how everyone is making it known that they are Mormon.  If they are on the Bachelor, “I can’t spend the night in the Fantasy Suite because I’m Mormon,” or they are on The Voice, “I grew up Mormon.”  Who cares!  No one else is making it known that they are Catholic or Protestant or any other religion, so no one needs to know that you’re Mormon.  Again, no one cares. Also, let’s not let this asshole in the White House.
