Magazine Covers

Post by Hman »

I thought I'd upload the covers of publications that I did since working at my new job, where I am the Graphic Designer. :mrgreen:

MotoTrader 6 (Personally I feel it's butt ugly, but that was my boss' design)
Image

MotoTrader 7 (Still ugly, did what the boss wanted at least I could change the logo)
Image

MotoTrader 8 (This looks better!)
Image

MotoTrader 9 (Made a nice new logo, and persuaded the boss to let me use it)
Image

MotoTrader 10 (Boss's wife didn't like the gloss effect on the logo :cry: And ugly supplied VW ad on the cover :puke: )
Image

MotoTrader 11
Image

MotorTrader 12 (Name changed slightly, best cover so far.) <- Current Issue
Image

Thrifty's (Self Publication)
Image

Epson Motors 1 (Self Publication)
Image

Epson Motors 2 (Self Publication)
Image

BizzTrader 4
Image

BizzTrader 5

Thanks :mrgreen:

Yeah, personally I don't like having busy covers, but what my boss wants my boss gets.

Nice work! My favourites are the Epson covers.

What program are you using?

I also had a problem with my boss changing my designs, actually had to have a little sit down with him because it became so disruptive, but I think you'll find over time they'll begin to trust you more and won't interfere quite as much. As for customers, well one of you is a designer, the other isn't, whose opinion should they trust?

TY, I also feel the same about the Epson covers, though the 2nd one is starting to get a bit busy with all the addresses. CorelDraw X4 mainly, though if I have to create or edit a bitmap I use PS CS3.
