Check the logo like it's Lil Wayne's smoke on this Billboard magazine cover!

Design director Josh Klenert explains to me: "I was asked to transform Billboard into a vibrant magazine that spoke to the music industry but also had consumer newsstand appeal. We tended to create celebrity based covers and business topic based covers."

The team included:
Josh Klenert, Creative Director
Christine Bower, Art Director
Greg Grabowy, Senior Designer
Amelia Halverson, Photo Editor
