TIME 100 Cover

Time invited five of the world's best graphic designers to submit cover concepts for the TIME 100 issue: Chip Kidd (who had two designs as finalists), Neville Brody, James Victore and Euro RSCG of New York City. The chosen cover - designed by Euro RSCG; Executive Creative Director: Hal Wolverton. Creatives: Ben Thoma, Katie Anne Naylon, Patrik Bolocek - is a mosaic pattern of all 100 top influential persons of the year making an image of a face. This solution is trendy, but still it departs from the typical approach of just the winner's image. Take a look at all five entries here.

Which cover would you have voted for and why?

My vote would have been for this design by Chip Kidd. I love his irony and humor. Just brilliant! (The copy in the center reads: "One hundred people who have a completely different perspective on the world. The TIME 100.").
