Reader Reviews
This review is from: Magazine Covers (Hardcover)
Well, they really nailed the title -- cause magazine covers are exactly what you get with this coffee-table book. Namely, scads of nice reproductions (around 300 or so) of magazine covers from the last hundred years. These are arranged into five sections, four of which are thematic (magazines which cover design, news, popular culture, and lifestyle), and one on illustrated covers. Given the mostly thematic arrangement, it seems strange to segregate the illustrated covers into their own chapter, especially as all the other chapters include illustrated examples as well.... In any event, each spread has about 3-5 images along with a brief blurb which doesn't generally say anything particularly illuminating. About halfway through the book I started concentrating on the images and skipping the text. Most of the images are from the U.S. and U.K. from the 1950s onward, although there are a smattering of examples from Germany, Poland, the USSR, and a few other places. Similarly, most of the examples are of mainstream consumer magazines, with a few nods here and there to the counterculture (a spread on punk 'zines, feminist mag "Spare Rib", "Adbusters" et al). Overall, it's good overview of the evolution of mainstream magazine cover design.
