Woah. I really like the design of this cover. It's completely different from all of the other spring and fall previews in the past. Not to mention, it's extremely eye-catching.
Congrats Brittany! Love that you used Twiggy, definitely an original idea for a preview issue. I hope you get to explain how you made the background in critique, looks like a cool technique that would be useful for us to learn. Can't wait to see it in print on Thursday!
I know there was some confusion about my background image. First, I never intended for Twiggy to be on the cover. It was my understanding that we were doing a mock-up and what I wanted to convey was that if the cover was chosen, I'd want an image of a girl similar to the mod-look of Twiggy.
The other image with the pixels was a simple twirl that I manipulated in Photoshop. I just found the image on google (the horror, the horror) and was trying to re-create it on my own in Illustrator. I didn't have much luck so I went with it in hopes that I would find a way to redo it before publication. Theresa helped me and you can see the new psychedelic image on the post. Thank you!
Colorful, catchy looking once the sell lines go in. Interesting as well!
