The MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in NY has opened an exhibit of Esquire Magazine covers that were made by a man named George Lois' for about 10 years in the 60's -early 70's.

The kind of cool thing about this is the social commentary aspect of these covers.
If you go to his site, he has quite a few of the covers on display along with a small explanatory paragraph about it's creation.
The thing is - he's right. Today, you couldn't do that stuff. Today's magazine covers ~ and today's pop culture SCREAM at you ...
