Who designs the front covers on magazines?

Question

magazine designers. Do the editors create the front covers?

Answer 1

The graphic design department of the magazine company.

The editors oversee the content. they don't create anything.

Answer 2

It can vary. The editor always has the final say and will decide what pictures, words and colours will be used. Some editors/journalists have graphic design skills and will design the cover from scatch themselves (such as editors like me!) while others will pass their ideas over to a graphic artist to put the final cover together.

Answer 3

On every magazine there is a Graphic design Dept. They will create the covers from info that the editor has given them. The Editior will also have the final say on the cover.
