Another Inspiration, or....???

Sharp-eyed SPD student member Travis J. Bonilla passes along this recent example of "inspired" cover design. On the left, the current issue of Rolling Stone's Brazil edition. On the right, the September 2008 cover of Esquire.

We're not sure about the extent of the "inspiration" on this one, but it seems like it's time for some new approaches to hand-crafted cover typography!

Check on Travis's new blog, Mags and Stuff, for some nice examples of magazine design. The Rolling Stone cover is courtesy of NASCAPAS, our favorite magazine cover website.
