Vanity Fair magazine has come up with the best magazine covers we've seen in awhile. For their July 2007 issue cover, they have photographed faces of very famous people in America and the only thing these people have in common with each other is their passion for Africa.
Photography was done by the best of course and a regular photographer for Vanity Fair magazines, Annie Leibovitz.
With a selection of 20 different covers to choose from, this issue is a dedication to Africa and Africans.
Guest Editor and activist Bono, from U2, is Pictured on the magazine cover we have choosen for our blog. Bono's inspiration is to show people the adventures of Africa.
The issue sheds light on Africa's unique economic and cultural diversity.
It's content is a compilation of story telling and film productions in the making by Danny Glover; Exquisite and amazing photography shots which brings out the beauty in every single subject; Exclusive interviews such as Madonna's trips to Malawi; Miracle drugs for aids; Geography and Music.
Quote from Bono
"To change the world we need consumer power; idealists and activists alone will not get the job done." "(Red) is a gateway drug into a bigger movement."

Red Products.
Remember the clothings sold at Gap: the red iPod etc.. The idea behind Red Products was quite simple. Basically participating companies, which so far include American Express, Apple, Armani, Gap, Motorola, and Converse (a subsidiary of Nike), sell (Red)-branded products and 40% of the gross profits from the sale goes to providing free ARVs to Africans with Aids. Isn't that fantastic!
God Bless you Bono!
Go pick one up if you haven't already, they've been on the magazine racks for over a week now, so 3 more weeks to go. Please Show Your Support!
Cheers
