While perusing our past covers, you’ll see the magazine go through many phases – photos, paintings, photos, John Green paintings... and currently we’re once again using photos. We’ve also had a few masthead changes and experimentations with text.

July/Aug 2005 - It stands out in my mind until today.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the Sept/Oct 2005 issue with the little girl reading a book in the hay loft.
ReplyDeleteJuly/August 1995
ReplyDeleteLove it, I feel it represents your readers to a T. Sitting reading your magazine and sharing the discoveries you just read with a loved one.
I love the May/June 2005 cover! Having spent a fair amount of time driving around the state, this photo makes me want to be on those wonderful two-lanes again with that stunning sky! (Sept/Oct 2005 is a close 2nd.)
ReplyDeleteIt's a little more recent, but the July/August 2009 cover is my favorite. The shot of the Needles is fantastic - makes me want to gear up and climb! Also, Pickeral Lake is highlighted on the cover; it's one of my favorite SD lakes.
ReplyDeleteThis month's cover caught my immediately after seeing it on stands as a favorite! It captures the thrill of the beginning of summer in South Dakota through a child's eyes. Was so glad to see this contest as a chance to let you know. -Rebecca Dodds, Yankton, SD
ReplyDeleteMay/June 2004. The colors of the sky and landscape are just amazing.
ReplyDeleteI like the March/April 2010 cover. I enjoy Greg Latza's pictures and this one of the state flower is beautiful!

I have to go with March 1986, because the crocus evokes all my favorite memories of growing up in the Black Hills.
ReplyDeleteMarch/April 2006
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be wherever that little red fox is.
Sept/Oct 1989
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of a guy who reminds me of my own grandfather. Also not the kind of photo I'm particularly good at taking, so I appreciate it even more.
July/August 1995
ReplyDeleteThis paint reminds us our grandparents' life, with this couple reading a SDM issue (of May/June). A quiet farm life after a hard work life. So I like this scene.
