Beating over 220 titles across 11 categories, Grazia was crowned the overall winner at The Maggies: Magazine Cover Awards 2012 last night.
Featuring Miranda Kerr as Australia’s Wonder Woman, the January 30 Grazia magazine was named the Weeklies winner on top of their cover of the year win.
This is an extremely appealing cover. It has impact, pizzazz and that ‘look at me’ factor that all covers must have,” says judging panel chair Ita Buttrose.
Miranda Kerr is a great cover choice as she is a popular celebrity with appeal and especially since becoming a mother. Good cover lines; excellent use of colour. Well done Grazia.”
