But seriously, that can’t be real, right??
What is the designer trying to convey here? Is the message “I know I’m on deadline, but I’m so fuckin’ high…”?

I call that progress.
I’m trying to understand the original article linked to in this post. It was from the magazine itself, yes? They are making fun of their own cover? That just seems too meta.
Maybe it’s critical commentary by the designer on Tim Cook and his Apple reign?
Now I’m even more confused.
This cover makes me assume there’s a tear-out Tim Cook poster inside.
Stealing ur joke thx
I’m hanging mine on the back of my door, next to my bill gates poster:

He’s got a long way to go to get to this level of mastery:
Guh. Sadly it’s totally real. This is a new trend called “Ugly Design”. It’s supposed to be the graphic design side of “Normcore”. More here: http://www.quora.com/Typography/What-is-this-typeface-and-why-do-some-designers-use-this-kind-of-typeface
I’m a designer. I love the cover.
