I've had to do a cover in about an hour after breaking news happened. We've also had to tear up the entire magazine (the night of Steve Jobs death and do an entire issue and cover in about 3 hours.

And yes, Martin is very stylish!

Good question. I've always said the red border is a blessing and a curse. It's instantly recognizable, so that helps. But as a designer the red tends to 'takeover' the design or image at times. Like red with a green background image isn't great.

All in all, I'd rather have it and I'm always trying to find ways to be creative inside that box

When Osama Bin Laden was killed, I had the famous TIME 'X' cover waiting in a folder for about a year and half. And there have been covers that didn't run (hundreds and hundreds :) that I pull out from time to time to see if they could work.

President Trump has certainly spent a great deal of time and focus on the notion of ‘fake news’ the past several years. I would say that nothing surprises me in the news nowadays. But to have him showcase fake TIME covers at his businesses is quite frankly, well, interesting :)

I think one of the more difficult covers to do was Aisha, a shy 18-year-old Afghan woman who had her nose and ears cut off by the Taliban for fleeing her abusive in-laws. As a father of a 17-year-old girl, I of course just can't imagine. It was difficult to say the least and we actually had a child psychologist look over the cover before publishing to make sure it was appropriate for the newsstands in America. I'm very proud that we published that image.
