What Becomes a Legend Most?

Analysis

Judy Garland looks toward the reader from inside a dark fur coat. A small question beneath the portrait invites the reader to connect the star with the garment.

Why it worked

The photograph makes the person recognizable without a name in the headline. The coat fills much of the image, joining the product with Garland’s public identity.

Lesson

Give a recognizable person room to carry the message.
