Eat Cheap / Cheap Eats

Illustrator Brian Taylor, the wise guy behind the Doppelganger Design website, has compiled this amazing collection of city and regional magazine covers all devoted to the theme of Eat Cheap or Cheap Eats. Besides the fact that it reveals an aggressive sense of sameness in editorial conception, it also appears that a couple of these magazines (Atlanta, StLouis) have found quite a bit of "inspiration" from New York magazine covers. As a special bonus, Taylor has included a ringer cover from the new Ready-Media template collection. See if you can spot it! And be sure to check out Doppelganger Design for many more examples of design "inspiration."
