National Defense Magazine-Cover; Up Close
By jason - up to 2007 (archived) • Apr 16th, 2007 • Category: Loose Ends, News for Creatives (archives)This is an interesting part of FolioMagazine.com where people within the Publication Field critique magazine covers. Below are some of the critiques:
“This cover is pretty close to a zero. The bold for the last half of the deck is pointless and distracting—it looks like a mistake rather than a device for emphasis. The old-style serif used for the deck doesn’t mesh particularly well with the Swiss modern headline either.”
-Jandos Rothstein, Governing Magazine
“Between the type, the logo and the art, there’s a lot of angles. The colors are strong. Black covers always open the palate to dramatic possibilities. The art doesn’t exactly say war, but that is just indicative of our politically correct times.”
-Donathan Salkaln, Successful Meetings Magazine
“Given who the audience is, National Defense magazine is appropriately powerful in its imagery, strong palette and weighty typographic usage.”
-Ina Saltz, Saltz Design
