The top ten magazine covers of 2009?
As if to prove the point discussed below about the US-orientation of the SPD Annual, Time’s top ten front covers features nine US magazines and one Australian cover. A couple of great covers included – the Halloween New Yorker cover, above, is a personal favourite and was featured here on publication – but overall a rather dull bunch. Or was it just a dull year?
Such lists are often justified by the editorial twist ‘which ones would you have chosen?’
So lets do it. What was your single favourite magazine front cover of the year? Any cover, any magazine, any country. Ideally email me a JPEG of the cover and a few words of justification if you have time. But the pic will do. Can we do better than Time? Can we prove George Lois wrong?
