In April 1995, several major entertainment magazines had recently used the new Oscar-winning director Adrian as their cover, but each focused on different aspects. For example, Vanity Fair had more entertainment elements, although Adrian was in formal attire. The cover photo, due to the angle and lighting, made him look somewhat ostentatious; whereas Time appeared more serious and sincere, featuring a frontal half-body image of Adrian with a slightly furrowed brow and hands crossed over a chair, exuding a stable and confident demeanor.
Similarly, the content of the published interviews also varied accordingly.
