SEPT 1999

I did the illustration, not the type. Very Haymarket-y. Heh. The guy on the left was modelled after a fellow Turn It Up employee whose name, unsurprisingly, escapes me at the moment. But he was a RIGHTEOUS DUDE. Roll over the cover for a better look at the drawing.

JUNE/JULY 2000

Murph, the editor/publisher, let me fiddle with the whole layout for this cover. My young and foolish ways led me to the Impact font. Ho ho ho. But you know, it's pretty ok. This is also one of my earliest forays into misusing the Photoshop halftone filter.

#32 - AUGUST 2000

This was the premiere of a cover layout grid style that i'd actually taken the time to think out. Shocking, I know. For some damned reason, the left column graphics got bumped a quarter of an inch to the left, but it still set the tone for what I wanted in general. I did the illustrations, too. And, hey... how's that for logo design, eh? EH?

#33 - SEPT 2000

A-ha! The grid done correctly... much better! I still really like this style. No-frills, straightforward, limited color palette. I did not take this photo, but I think I did that little graphicy thing in the lower left to fill the space in the layout.

#34 - OCT 2000

I seem to recall that weird little graphic in the lower left is something I did for some spooky ghost story inside.

I still really like this illustration, which I later hijacked for my Ween poster. These were the days before I really understood CMYK vs RGB, so the cover came out a lot duller-toned than I'd intended. Roll over the cover for a better look at the original piece.
