It's always fun to hear great art-directors talk about their favorite magazine covers.
This month Coverjunkie asked Rodrigo Sánchez Design Director from ace Metrópoli magazine about the favorite covers he designed himself:

Rodrigo's favorite designed covers
Favorite #1: Munich, February 2006:
"It was a great opportunity. Olympic rings, a Jewish team and a terrorist attack. Sometimes the stars, even more so if they are Stars of David, align themselves in our favour."

About Rodrigo Sánchez:
Rodrigo joined Spanish El Mundo in 1992, where he is the Art Director of three of the newspaper’s supplements. For the last 15 years he has been designing covers for Metrópoli where he won several design awards.
