Graphic Design Fun

Some of you know that I do covers for the atlantic Canada glbt newspaper, Wayves, along with volunteering on other stuff for them. Anyway, I just wanted to show off my most recent one, cause I love it. For comparison, I've also included March's cover.


(low-resolution versions, the real ones are huge professional-printing-quality files)

Incidentally, you don't have to pretend you like it if you don't or anything, I'm fully aware that everyone's tastes are different. But thought some of you not in Wayves target markets just might find it cute, is all.

I think you'll be happy to know that I looked at the pictures before reading your post and initially thought that you HAD designed a cover for WIRED magazine... it wasn't until a few minutes later that I realized that you were actually doing a homage to it. :) Good for you.

Are you worried that people won't recognize the magazine though? Wayves has become known for it's bright logo. I think you did such a good job, people will be confused at first.

Last year's April Fool's cover had one of our writers complaining. She wrote about these lesbian parties in Newfoundland, and on the cover I wrote "secret lesbian society plots downfall of country" or something like that. She wrote in saying "my friends and I are so confused, the cover doesn't make any sense, can you please advise why you did this?!?" We decided that April Fool's confusion rocks, so I kinda hope people are confused (but of course I still want them to pick it up too!)
