Covers Galore
I'm so jazzed about
Esquire magazine's cover gallery. Yep, every cover going back to 1933 is there. It's an easy way to experience the venerable mag's graphical ups and downs. Such as: the weird little mannequin tableaus on the WWII-era covers. The eye-popping abstractions of the '50s. The audacious messages of the '60s. The ill-fated experiment with a different masthead. The casual sexism of recent celebrity covers (male: cool dude; female: babe in a flimsy wet top).
And, if that's not enough, Cheshire Dave is back with another round of insightful book cover reviews (both links via Coudal).
