My 2010 was stranger than yours

December 21, 2010 in Magazine covers, Opinion | No comments

As Jeremy notes, there’s plenty of ‘Top Covers of 2010′ lists floating around (including his own enjoyable one).

None, however, contain as many swearwords as mine, now published over at The Hospital Club. You certainly don’t see these magazines talked about over at Advertising Age. Enjoy!

UPDATE: (Ahem, it has been pointed out that one of them is from 2009. But it’s good enough to repeat. Right?)

Magazine covers of the year

December 9, 2010 in Magazine covers | 1 comment

Time magazine’s Top Ten list of 2010 magazine covers is pretty insipid (Nat Geo, Wallpaper* and W are at least interesting. The others bland.) As ever, they daren’t look beyond the magazines next to them on the commercial newstand, but even so, no Bloomberg Businessweek? Really?

Cover Junkie has a far better selection in its poll, along with a comprehensive list of its favourites that reminds you that, despite what Time says, it’s actually been an unusually strong year.

By the way, I have my own end-of-year roundups planned. Watch this space…
