SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
These magazine covers were a joy to behold! Reworking the masthead with each issue is not considered "on brand," but in this case, reinvention becomes a defining element. Each cover is relevant to that particular issue through color, typography, imagery, and style. The boldness and ideas that shine through are exciting. I want to see more!

SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
The Peck magazine covers fully involve participants in both creation and experience, and the result is genuine and meaningful. One cover highlights kindergarten by featuring each and every student in a pattern of portraits. Another plays on the Eames' "House of Cards." Not only was this idea relevant to the concept of "art for all," but it also invites readers to fully engage with the art and images — an interactive cover.

There is an immediacy and a restraint about these covers that I admire. The quiet typography and graphics juxtaposed against the bold images tell a story about quiet strength, adventure, and joy. Well done!
