Mike Salisbury: King of the West

Over at Design Observer blog, Steven Heller just posted a lovely tribute to Los Angeles graphic designer, Mike Salisbury, and his innovative art direction at West magazine. West magazine was the first iteration of the Los Angeles Times magazine, not Rick Wartzman's second version that suffered the same fate as the first version. Both got the ax pretty early.

Heller includes a slide show of Salisbury's West best covers.
