Between the Lines: "Covering Country Roads" —What makes a great magazine cover?

In this episode, the DETOURS team is joined by Country Roads magazine's Creative Director, Kourtney Zimmerman, to discuss the less-than-precise process of choosing covers for our monthly print publication. James reminisces on days of cutting-and-pasting (with scissors and wax), everyone shares some of their favorite covers over the last 40 years, and we discuss the tensions of story vs. iconic image, fame vs. impact, and the old vs. the new—all of which contribute to our monthly slack channel voting sessions to choose the issue's most important image.
