I love magazines, I really do. Reading them, thinking about them, touching them, designing them, writing for them, I love it all. But the one part of a magazine that kills me every time is designing the cover. I've just spent the last two months in turmoil trying to fine tune this cover I created last Spring:
If you all remember, this was a re-design of
Rolling Stone Magazine for my magazine design class. Thinking this was my most promising project, I decided to tackle it first in revising things for my portfolio. Little did I know that months later, I'd still be working on it. Still. I have a habit of posting things up here prematurely but if this isn't at least close to being complete, I can't honestly say what I might do.
The masthead changed quite a bit and I also added a headline since the whole even-numbered headline thing was bothering me. The headlines themselves shrank a bit and I'm still not sure if I still want to shrink the Howard Stern headline a bit or not. We will see...
