I like the way the “headlines” are on the cover-that piques my interest in what is inside-it also helps me find a “lost” article when I look for articles on certain subjects.

As a big fan (and owner) of paints, it just appeals to me immensely.

E.g. the black Friesian against the white snow is perfect contrast.
I also think it’s really neat that the title is incorporated into the photo. I.e. that the horse’s ears go over the text, etc.
Anyway, my favourite cover is a toss up between January and July.
My least favourite is April, closely followed by June.
