Santa Fe Reporter – Winter guide

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

Thanks to Angela over at Santa Fe Reporter for working with me on this one! This is the cover for the magazine’s ‘winter guide’ issue. The space at the top is reserved for the masthead. The brief was open so I came up with some ideas involving winter. We both liked the idea of some sort of ice princss, so I married a couple of concepts together and came up with this.

Below are the other sketches I roughed:

(I ended up re-using this one for my own Xmas card.)

This was the reworked sketch:

Santa Fe Reporter covers on SPD.org

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

My client, Angela Moore, at Santa Fe Reporter was featured in ‘Great covers from the Santa Fe Reporter‘ on the Society of Publication Designers website. Thanks to Angela for including my cover for the magazine in her feature – it feels great to be mentioned in the same breath as some of the other illustrators who have done covers for the magazine.

Please stop by Angela’s website to check out her design and art work!

Santa Fe Reporter ‘Sweat’ cover

Santa Fe Reporter cover

Did this recently for Santa Fe Reporter, for their 2009 ‘Sweat’ issue. The art director wanted a kickboxing girl (since that is a feature article), and it so happened that I already had a girl in a kickboxing pose from an old illustration. I showed it to her and she was happy with reusing it, with some new elements in the background.

So this was the sketch for the cover. I was asked to do something dynamic, with Chinese dragons, so I came up with the dragon and various lines and elements behind the girl to make her look cooler. I asked for the masthead so that I could work the design around the main elements on the page.

This was the final art, without the masthead.
