Cover to Cover

The image above is from Print magazine's website and was illustrated by Christopher Nieman. It was one of the winners from the New York Regional Design Awards in 2016. I really fell in love with the design as soon as I saw it. It has a very simple, clean and symmetrical layout. I have always personally liked the colors pink and black together, but besides that the contrast fits. The black is very bold, and New York City is very bold. The pink is very delicate and soft, and roses are very soft to the touch and delicate. Also, the very simple illustration of the flower pot and stem is a nice touch that adds a handmade feel to the design. I feel that the design shows the designing process because of the transformation of the sticky note to a beautiful flower. Out ideas sometimes start out as some pen marks on a sticky note that evolve into a bigger project. Overall this is a great contemporary design.
