Great Cover Debate



Magculture is busy putting together a hit list of the top magazine covers of all time ever. Anyone can submit. What a great idea! Go on... why not have your say? Just email Jeremy with your cover image 500 pixels wide.

We had a little think about this. The usual suspects, Twen, Avant Garde... they all pop up. Someone will have been there first surely. So we here at Things to Look At tried to think of something slightly more underrated and U&LC immediately sprung to mind. When you're black and white, and you have no pictures, what do you do? You just do something amazingly typographic. But can they really compete with the usual, more glossy heros such as April 1968 Esquire, Playboy October 1971, Rolling Stone January 1981? Maybe it's a little too stripped down to compete and we should be looking in the dusty corner of Nova's, Queens and Town magazine greats. The musing continues...
