"Editorial Cover Designs"

Project 3 deals with designing a cover (using primarily type) for a special edition of a weekly insert for a newspaper and we were charged with finding good examples of magazine covers illustrating this.  So here goes:

1)How Magazine 25th Anniversary Issue

2) Mixtapes Magazine Mixtape Awards issue
3) Grapik Magazine


4) Web Designer and Black Enterprise Magazines



5)


6) Ebony and Spin Magazine - (sorry for the use of a hyphen when an em dash was called for) These are not really good examples of type driven editorial covers but these two used Marvin Gaye and Prince. You can't really go wrong with having MR "Let's Get it on" and MR "Erotic City" on your cover...


 7)Communication Arts and New York Magazines- These are covers that did not appeal to me but I felt the need to include them.
