Two biz magazine covers among the 10 best of the year

Advertising Age picked the top 10 best magazine covers of the year, and a cover from Bloomberg Businessweek and a cover from The Economist made the list.

For the Bloomberg Businessweek cover, Advertising Age wrote, “Ousting Muammar Gaddafi gave the West’s oil companies new openings in Libya, but the country would need stability before anyone could move forward. David Foldvari’s illustration suggested the situation wasn’t pretty.”

For The Economist cover, Advertising Age noted, “Greece threatened to part ways with the euro amid a debt crisis that threatened Europe’s economic system and neighboring countries. For its European edition, The Economist made a complicated situation plain.”
