Gene was the publisher of Publish magazine for most of the time I was an editor there. On the February 1999 cover, we broke one of the rules by not only having a person on the cover, but by having almost nothing BUT a person on the cover:
The art director, Jean Zambelli, was fearless. Later that year she again put a person on the cover. To match the theme of the issue -- paper suppliers -- she sewed the model's clothes out of paper. The accessories were office supplies.
how do you get away with scanning something that is still under copyright protection? I would like to use the MAD magazine cover with a bar code for a project but it is only 31 years old; not 75 years old.
Cover of Opium magazine used special ink that estimated to complete the story on the cover 1000 years later. http://www.wired.com/underwire/2009/06/story-that-takes-1000-years-to-read-is-antidote-to-media-whirlwind/
Great stuff, as usual. But I find it interesting that on the 9/11 cover of "The New Yorker," their "professional" staff can't even kern their damn 1's! One of my biggest pet peeves in typography...
