My Favourite Covers..So Far.

A magazine cover can either get it right & reel you in, or it can be terribly bad & incite feelings of gut-wrenching horror. There's a fine line between creating a cover with just the right amount of words to graphic ratio, and taking things a step too far. 

A cover can sometime be the motivating factor in grabbing a particular magazine off a shelve, and in my case is performed with the enthusiasm of an addict on crack. The saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" doesn't really sync through to the world of magazines - an iconic publication is bound together by a beautiful paper cover, and ideally should  transcend directly to one's literary soul. 

These are some of my favourite covers, which  essentially have inspired me to write more sweet nothings & create more magical concoctions in my 'lil old cerebellum.
