As Jason Sudeikis gets “Mitt Romney-fied” (a term we may or may not have just coined) for Saturday Night Live’s “Cold Opening: Debate”, his makeup team looks for inspiration in none other than Peter Hapak’s photograph of Romney for TIME that appeared in the story, “The Mind of Mitt.

For this week’s cover on how Wireless technology has changed the world, we asked readers to take pictures with their phones and post them on Instagram with the tag #TIMEwireless. We received 31,429 submissions in just a few weeks, from more than 120 countries and all seven continents (including a few from Antarctica’s McMurdo Station).
The cover concept was to create an image that was geographically diverse, as well as varied in its subject matter. In the end, the cover features 288 images – at least one from each of the countries and all 50 states. In order to accomplish this, we worked with OlaPic – a social photo crowdsourcing service – to develop a tool that enabled us to sift through the tens of thousands of images.

It’s not the first time we’ve turned to social media companies for inspiration. In 2008, we worked with Flickr to help illustrate our Person of the Year package on Barack Obama. Over 14 pages, we presented some of the more than 100,000 Obama-related postings. In 2010, we turned to the Facebook community for our cover, which featured more than 1,200 profile pictures.

Stay tuned for future social-media partnering as you too could be featured in an issue of TIME magazine.

The latest issue of TIME, “The Wireless Issue: 10 Ways Your Phone Is Changing The World,” will hit newsstands Friday.

In this issue, TIME investigates how mobile phones are changing essentially every aspect of our lives. In July, our editors did a call-out for Instagram photos from around the world — today, 288 of those photos from over 30,000 submissions grace the cover of TIME.

Timothy Greenfield-Sanders spoke to TIME about his new film, About Face: Supermodels Then and Now (HBO), which explores how aging has influenced some of history’s most famous models.

How did you get a bunch of supermodels to talk about aging?
It was a matter of trust, and a lot of them were at a point in their lives that they were ready to be open. It wasn’t easy but that’s what I do for a living — I put people in front of a camera and make them feel comfortable.

Today TIME pays tribute to the trailblazers, visionaries and cultural ambassadors who defined a nation: The 20 Most Influential Americans of All Time.

Pictured: Professor Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), mathematical physicist at home in 1925. 

He was the greatest mind and paramount icon of our age, the kindly, absentminded professor whose wild halo of hair, piercing eyes, engaging humanity and extraordinary brilliance made his face a symbol and his name a synonym for genius: Albert Einstein.

This list comes from the new TIME book The 100 Most Influential People of All Time, which profiles spiritual icons, leaders, explorers, visionaries and cultural titans throughout human history.

The latest issue of TIME, featuring our Summer Olympics special, will hit newsstands Friday. Our U.S. readers will see track and field athlete Lolo Jones, swimmer Ryan Lochte, and gymnast Gabby Douglas on the cover of TIME.
