Assignment - Cover and Logos

Design logo and cover alternatives and finish up everything:

  • Design at least 20 magazine logos and 20 covers and lots of variations. Think conceptually. Keep in mind your target audience. Remember the cover of a publication is just like a storefront. You want it to be appealing to your audience, lure them in, make them read the publication. Post all your work.
  • Finish everything else up, print to nice stock paper and paste back to back and do the cover as a wrap.
Next week we will have guest crits Trevett McCandliss and Nancy Campbell so please be prepared. Do your research.
Check out a post I posted about our guests here.
