[SCANS] Cawaii - May 2008

[criminal]

Cover: WOAH. TEXT OVERLOAD. Thankfully, Ayumi's face is nicely visible. It looks exactly like a cover for Mirrocle World. The 10000 [something] interview thingy is intriguing! :O But "Are You Nudy?"? Not so.
10: Yes, I do too.
11: Nice concept, but it turned out bad. Ayumi's mouth and the ends of her mouth look extremely unnatural, with the absence of her ever-present teeth, it's made worse. Her right eye looks like it's completely black. The blackness emphasizes yet again the bump on her nose. I can't believe I haven't noticed that before, like, a month ago. The photoshopping is overdone on her face, while other parts of her body are left totally natural. That creates an ugly contrast. The only good thing about this photograph is Ayumi's hair. I gives off a messy feel, but it's classy at the same time.
12: This is a very beautiful picture. But an ugly magazine scan. This picture would greatly benefit if the page were only this picture and not any text or logos or stuff like that. This picture turned out perfect. I like the shades, I like the colors and I like how Ayumi pulled off the feeling she's trying to give perfectly.
13: On to the diva mode, I see. This picture isn't that bad or that good, although I'm not really a fan of the pose. Also, Ayumi's dress clashes badly with the text and it creates a visual mess. She's so rockin' the hair, though.
14: If the last picture reminded me a little bit of the picture next to JEWEL's lyrics in the Secret booklet, then this picture looks exactly like the collage from the middle of the booklet... only with fiercer hair.
15: Not much to comment, but the backside of the dress seems promising.
17: Hmm, no. The lighting is in-between a silhouette or a normal picture. I'd prefer it to be one or the other, not something in-between. This could be a really pretty and mature-looking photo, comparable to page 12, but.. I guess we won't know for sure.

The magazine spread this time promised the usual stuff, judging by the cover, but fortunately, the inside pictures were not all of the norm. Some really beautiful profile pictures were included, which weren't that groundbreaking, but they were beautiful.
