I remember when the September 11th New Yorker came. I was blown away - so simple, and yet so perfect. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

"Blown away" - I wouldn't have used that imagery, but to each his own. Were you floored by the all-black cover, a common symbol of grief, or by black-halfglossy Twin Towers silhouettes superimposed on black-matte background? That I missed entirely, not until later, too subtle a visual difference to notice at a glance. - ianf ⌘

The fact that it looks all black until you see the towers are barely there. The black is negative space, indicating the loss, and the two towers are also negative space, showing what's no longer there, and yet still there in memory. I found it really powerful in its evocative simplicity. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

On the subject of TNY covers, I really like some of the ones they've run on anniversary SeptemberElevents issues - see the three samples I found in CoverBrowser (incomplete record of) <http://i.friendfeed.com/8238126...> [ via <http://ff.im/4keAU>] - ianf ⌘
