4/20: Critique the new pornographer cover

This 4/28 issue cover design is quite a challenge for me. First, my crazy final schedule only left me couple hours for the design, and second, it't one photo with three ideas, not the regular one photo, one illustration and one studio.
Thus, I decided to make all of them pop and trendy but with different "methodologies" (yes, I just took a break from my giant academic paper writing).
Though, not much time left, I still went through couple of their website and went to youtube for their music video and it turned out that I really like their music. 
They liked to combine lots of creative music elements and their mv are especially funny. Thus, "diversity" became the theme of the cover. And you can easily tell they are really a team of diversity: gender, age, even just how they all look like differently.

  1. All of your covers were great. I actually really liked the first one with the cut out shape and background. It adds a different dimension to the photo, and the colors work well together.

    I also like the third one. The color blocking squares are fun and unique. I would have never thought about that.

  2. Great job on your cover designs! It doesn't show at all that you only work a couple of hours on them. The diversity theme you wanted to show was well executed. You always have such creative ideas.
