This is a cover concept shot last week for Collegiate Magazine, where we planned and drew out the cover before we shot – basically keeping the end design in mind before even shooting. Lots of planning can make the final design process super easy! Thanks to Christi Riddell for the chalk illustration.
This is a phenomenal talk from Scott Dadich (who I had the honor of hearing speak when he was back at Texas Monthly) on his experience in publication design. If you have any interest in what goes on to the most deepest level of good design, please take time to watch this. It is remarkable! Props to Matt Lehman for the find!
