MarkLives.com runs a regular slot featuring the best local and international magazine covers every week. We recognise well thought out, powerful and interesting (and hopefully all three in one) magazine covers and celebrate the mix of pragmatism, creativity and personal taste that created each of them. By media blogger MediaSlutZA.
Olympic 2012 fever is everywhere! I’ll definitely be watching the Opening Ceremony tonight, but until then, here’s an overload of Olympic-inspired covers…
Instead of writing about each cover I’ll just let the covers speak for themselves. This is just a personal selection, so if you want MORE Olympic-covers, make sure you click on the following Nas Capas links that will take to the best selection of Olympic-covers out there.

– The (for now anonymous) blogger behind MediaSlutZA knows way too much for his own good about media in South Africa. Magazines in particular. His mission is to show when South African magazines might fail, but most importantly, succeed. If you’re looking for a library about South African magazines and news, your one-stop pitstop is MediaSlutZA. #MagazinesForTheWin
