- Esquire
- Foreign Policy
- Stay Wild
- Transworld Skateboarding
- SA Rugby
INTERNATIONAL
Esquire, April 2015
It’s a pity that most people won’t get the reference immediately by just looking at the cover.
Read the original John and Yoko interview from 1968 here.
FP (Foreign Policy)
Foreign Policy magazine takes a bold look at the Global Crisis with this bold and very striking image!
Stay Wild, Winter 2015
Great photography, not spoiled by even one cover line, which makes me want to be right there, right now. Yes, even if it’s cold like that.
Transworld Skateboarding, March 2015
Amazing! That goes for the photograph, art-installation-turned-ramp, and layout.
LOCAL
SA Rugby, April 2015 (20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition)
Happy 20 years, SA Rugby! To celebrate, it’s featuring “20 Best Boks since 1995”, with some featured on this green-and-yellow cover!

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.
