Upside Down Covers
Last month on SPD we posted an article about magazine covers that
flip their logos upside down. Now two recent newsweekly covers have us thinking about upside down images. The cover on the left is from the November 16, 2009 issue of
BusinessWeek, illustrated by
Mirko Ilic and art directed by
Andrew Horton. The cover on the right is from the December 7, 2009 issue of
Newsweek. We know how great minds think alike (or at least these things come in threes, which would make it a trend....). If you've got a recent cover that fits this format, please
send it along to SPD Central.
UPDATE! (December 30): We've got another upside down cover on the next page.
Now it's officially a trend! The November 1, 2009 issue of
REO Insider continues the upside down cover design format. Art director:
Jimmy Ball.
