We often leave the cover design until late in the production process - something will jump out at us, like
Arnold Zageris' astonishing landscape photography for the last issue, or Michele Stamp's gorgeous Blue Irises painting in the fall. The imagery must be linked to the issue's theme and it must look different from anything we've published before - that's the only rule. For our upcoming magazine, I keep returning to our "What If" ideas, especially the one about the Second World War (which I've mentioned below). Wouldn't it be fun to mock up a fake propaganda poster for the cover - something bright and bold and graphic?
