Eye Candy
Posted: Jul 15, 2009 12:00AM PST by nikorosso
From a graphic design standpoint, these are some of the most beautiful covers I've seen on any magazine. I kind of want to just save some of these on my computer for future inspiration for my freelance work.
My particular favorites are the covers with: Heavy Rain, God of War, Bully, and Virtua Fighter 5.

Why on EARTH...
Posted: Jan 04, 2009 12:00AM PST by toomuchfreetime
...are these not the covers used for EGM? My God, this are amazing.
Why doesn't this designer also design the EGM covers? They could use some help.
