Perfectionism

Hilary Robertson styled this wonderfully symmetric cover for Elle Decor, shot by unwavering William Waldron.  It really is astounding just how much the image was shot to match the design of the cover.  I just picture them with the cover overlay up on the screen, managing the tiniest details and chosen asymmetries, like the bag on the floor next to the desk and the way the artwork on the shelf mirrors the copy on the left side of the page.  And then the way that the cover logo is perfectly framed by the ceiling with the columns providing an additional frame.  This is just the most fantastic example of great teamwork, patience and perfectionism.
