2017 magazine covers in review

It was an exciting year for magazines.
The election of Donald Trump as U.S. president and the controversies that followed him have given cover artists a lot of material with which to work.
Sex still sells and it shows in the number of magazines using attractive nude celebrities on their covers.
And people found a lot of things to get upset about with magazine covers this year, especially those having to do with race, Islam, sexism and overuse of Photoshop.
What follows is a summary of my recent year-in-review posts about magazine covers.
