I asked INNOVATION’s Juan Cano about the best covers at the ASME contest and this was his choice:

I am really impressed by the “I am” cover of New York magazine.

Magazines are the best medium to decipher social changes.

This cover interprets how we feel now.

About important issues.

Both from inside and outside ourselves.

With brilliant graphics.

Magazine creativity at its best!

Juan Cano, a journalist for more than 40 years, worked for magazines during the last 30 years as editor in chief, founder or publisher of more than 20 titles.

He was editorial director for Grunner und Jahr, Bauer and Hachette Filipacchi, and President of ETMA (European Television Magazines Association)

A member of the Editorial Comittee of Hachette Filipacchi in Paris and special adviser on magazines to the President of Lagardre Active Média.



BRAZILIAN NEWSPAPERS’ COVERAGE OF THE SAO PAULO PLANE CRASH

Great front pages.

Dramatic photos.

Big headlines.

But they needed more and better infographics.

UPDATE: Flying today from Lisbon to New York, I saw an excellent full page infographic in Publico that localized the global news as Lisbon has also a city-airport.

I will try to get and post it, but if anybody from Publico reads this blog, please send me the page in jpg format.

I am sure, too, that Brazilian newspapers will have right now good infographics.

A good idea.

Be different!

This is an amazing picture.

For many years, we were told that digital photography would never match the quality of film.

Well… today, digital photography rules.

Period.

And produces briliant portraits like this one.

A great TIME cover.
