#5. GQ
May 2007

This cover just makes you laugh. It's another twofer. You get a celebrity cover and a humor cover in the same image. Actually, it's a threefer, because it's a fashion cover as well. GQ's Hall-of-Fame Design Director Fred Woodward usually has only the magazine's inside pages to display his unique combination of wit and style, but this cover gives him a chance to be a little more playful, and he makes the most of it. As with the Texas Monthly Cheney cover, it's the fine details of styling and photography that raise this cover to a higher plane.
