Straight away this eye-catching cover is the most noticeable, with its print looking art work. I already love this design as there is nothing too it, apart from two colours yet it is still recognisable and effective.
The next image in this magazine that caught my eye is this unusual illustration by Craig Frazier, to begin with I thought it was just a man split in half, although it is pretty much that, I realised that the two separating colours on both side of the page is actually a corner wall, so the man is split at an angle making him look like he is peering round the corner.
A very clever illustration, which proves there is more than what meets the eye.
Once again it took me a while to realise what this design was by 'David James Associates' until I rotated it. I think it is a fun and bold image, which uses a wide range of mixed media, including material to create the birds on the branch. I am not completely sure if there was any meaning to this art work but I think it is quirky and untidy but in a good way, especially where they have left the pin underneath the branch as if it is supposed to be there.
I am a big fan of pop art, especially this intriguing comic book strip from Secret Hearts by Tony Abruzzo for DC Comics, alongside Roy Lichtenstein; Drowning girl (smaller image). Roy Lichtenstein is a big name in the pop art world, who intensifies the graphic qualities within.
