For most print publications, the cover is usually the main selling feature, a combination of a captivating image and intriguing text. Having unique magazines covers is essential to sales as the cover often determines whether it will succeed or fail. This cluster of unique magazines covers includes creative ideas publications have used to help their issues stand out on newsstands.
