(To) Cover: show, imply


I am still impressed by a powerful magazine cover from Granta for their issue on "Sex", last year.


I was looking forward to find a site with the best covers, when today ZEITmagazin discovered Coverjunkie, a great blog on the best covers. I am impressed and I love it!

Not only that: I also felt very happy because the cover of Picnic is among them. And thanks to Piu I wrote two short pieces for this issue.

The cover is to the magazine, what the eyes are to the soul. Their reflection.

And Granta's cover is definitely a masterpiece: it does not show, like Courbet did in 1866, but implies.

Sex sells. But Sex is not love, even if this is for some people the same. For you?
