The visuals of TIME’s Person of the Year

I can’t help but find it interesting that when you share the story via the online article onto social media feeds, Tarana Burke is featured (even though Taylor Swift is at the center). And yet the cover of the physical magazine does not feature Burke at all (or McGowan for that matter). It’s only Swift who appears in visual headline of both spaces.

(Seriously, the concept is fabulous and well-appreciated – but there are so many things to parse about the visual construction of this piece, especially across multiple media formats and platforms.)
