INTERNATIONAL
Atlanta, 4 November 2013
“The Walking Dead” fans will absolutely love these two Atlanta covers, for a number of reasons!
On the two covers, being attacked by zombies (while still looking ultra hot), are two of the biggiest stars, Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus. You can read its full article here.
ELLE Denmark, November 2013
For ELLE Denmark’s Birthday Issue, it created five stunning celebratory covers with model Louise P, but the one that stands out for me is the Gold/Silver one with the big ELLE-shaped balloons!
Hip Hip Hurray on its birthday, and also five fresh and great covers!
Kiblind France, Autumn 2013, Issue #46
What an interesting cover, for a number of reasons. Not just its (strange) use of ants on top of the picture, but also the unique logo-placement and usage. Definitely something unique!
Well worth looking at its previous covers also, and hopefully this will inspire a few other art directors to also ‘break the mould’ once in a while…
LOCAL
Playboy South Africa, November 2013
The writing really is on the wall: this cover with Slovenian model Katarina Bencek is just pure bliss…
MagLove by @MediaSlut is a regular slot featuring the best local and international magazine covers every week, recognising well thought-out, powerful and interesting (and hopefully all three-in-one) covers and celebrating the mix of pragmatism, creativity and personal taste that created each of them. The (for now anonymous) blogger behind MediaSlut knows way too much for his own good about media in South Africa, magazines in particular. His mission is to show when SA magazines fail but, most importantly, also when they succeed. If you’re looking for a library about SA magazines and news, this is your one-stop pitstop. #MagazinesForTheWin
