I am a big fan of magazines and my collection includes assorted issues of Life (1969 issues!), National Geographic, Wired etc. Among these my favourite in terms of design, typography and photography has always been Rolling Stones.
American Society of Magazine Editors are voting for the best magazine covers of 2008. While Rolling Stone does not feature in the list, there are a couple of great covers. Head over here for the full list.
Among the Indian magazine titles, don’t you think this kind of emphasis on design & photography is totally lacking?

Some very nice covers I must say. One of the best cover page was “Times person of the year ” -2006 – where the person of the year was ” You” and it was creatively rendered by using a vinyl sticker which served as a mirror.
Thanks, Biju. I wrote about it here: http://tinyurl.com/3rd7ep
