Response: Getting Work Published

Building off my last post about critiquing my covers, I wanted to talk a little about my experience with getting my work published. It's really interesting and beneficial getting to hear everyone's opinions about my work, especially from professors and the editors up at Vox that have had an unreal amount of experience in the real magazine world. It definitely gives me more confidence about my design work!

What I found crazy was how many changes I made from the beginning draft to the very end. It has a completely different feel to it, completely different color scheme, went from a typography cover to a cover with a stock photo. I am really happy with how it turned out and it was great working with the art directors, my TA, the editors up at Vox and other students hearing what they like best and what I should incorporate into it. I learned how important it is to be able to take constructive criticism with my work and to make certain changes to keep everyone happy!
