Magazine Covers by David Crowley
The book is structured thematically, with each chapter covering a specific genre of magazine, including Art and Design, photojournalism, popular culture, and fashion. It includes classic UK and US magazines such as Picture Post, Life, New Yorker, Nova, Interview, The Face, and Wallpaper. The author looks at the 'heydays' of world-famous magazines: Harper's Bazaar in the 1940s, French Elle in the 1960s, British Nova in the 1960s, and Andy Warhol's Interview of the 1970s. It is an accessibly written and thorough survey that considers the methodology, motivations, and aims of the art directors and designers behind the best magazine covers.
