I know they say “Don’t judge a book by its cover” but honestly, who doesn’t buy a magazine off the influence of the cover image? I’ll admit it, I do – but maybe I’m just a generally judge-y person. Anyone in publishing will know you choose your covers according to #relevance and, while the content should (and hopefully does) really speak for itself, it’s a harsh reality that a good mag cover will move product. And a bad one…welp, they’re the ones probably gathering dust or being prepared to be shipped back to the publisher. But what if the cover is so bad, it’s good?
