The Oct/Nov issue of Canada’s History will be hard to miss on Canada’s newsstands.
Art Director James Gillespie has created a radiantly golden warm cover, that went on sale Sep 23rd.
Here’s what James had to say about the cover:
“We wanted to go with a bold cover color to contrast the Black and white photo. We added a bit of antique texture to complement the age of the photo which had a fair amount of visual noise due to the age and quality of the photo. It was important to have Riel’s portrait be large enough to be placed over the masthead but still be able to maintain the masthead’s legibility. We chose to use a bold stacked type that gave prominence to Riel’s name. The process ended up yielding a strong cover.”
