Cover intensity


This is one of my favorites from an artistic perspective. I love the moodiness, the intensity, the boldness of the photo.

...and yet MORE covers





I could go all day, people. See what I mean about the touch of humor? (see "Bosshole" cover). There's a great story behind that one, but I'll save it for another day.

Cool thing: after we did the August 2009 cover and feature on the entrepreneurs of New Orleans and their huge effort to rebuild after Katrina, they actually gave our Editor-in-Chief the keys to the city (for a day, of course). Pretty cool to be reaching and helping such smart, inspired people.

Oh, and Youngstown, OH created a giant, building-sized flag out of their "Best Cities" cover. How funny!

Covers, covers and more covers






Cover design samples for Entrepreneur magazine (newsstand and subscription cover samples). Subscription covers focus mostly on a single entrepreneur, while newsstand tend to be typography-driven.

Covers are notoriously difficult. It's a balance of design and edit, which ideally play off each other and work as a marketing tool for each issue. I like to add a little fun to covers where appropriate, whether it's using fun typography, colors or imagery.
