As the sun rolls over the hills, illuminating the land of creativity...

I have been sleeping the oddest hours lately. So as long as I'm going to be getting up between 2:30 and 4:00 am this weekend, I may as well get something done.

Last night and this morning, I designed two covers for Clavicle, the magazine that is publishing my story and poem. They told me they very well might need some graphic design work for the zine, so I made these two covers to sort of showcase my design work. And they said the might use them! For the COVER!

The Senior Editor said the team would vote on which one they like, so without further ado, I present COVER-ONE and COVER-TWO. And I ask that you, dear reader, also vote for your favorite.

my 31/2 cents' worth..

dang it - they're both good! The first has a surreal quality to it that catches the eye(as one is caught by the eye); but the second one...well, I am a color freak - if I were even remotely graphically talented, I'd use that one, but colorized more - with the colors draining from the edges of the heart, as if ripping it from the chest, it loses the life it's being torn from as the color sprays down into the oven cavity - the colors catching the eye, with less red and some contrasting splashes of cobalt blue, mustard yellow, and even lime green...not sure what their print budget is, but you get my point...color would draw the eye to the cover, the absurdity of the colors used would keep them looking for a moment more, maybe, before hopefully deciding to buy it...
