On the Cover

This cover features a surreal representation of one’s professional evolution, the importance of versatility and the development of a “true to yourself” brand. The nuances of conventional and progressive design tools allude to the advancement and self-improvements we experience throughout our education and career. The use of traditional and digital techniques also exemplify that combined proficiency in various media will make us stronger designers and prepare us for opportunities and success. The imagery used in the composite was shot by IADT- Tampa Professional Photography students Rachel “Kittie” Howard and Michael Minichiello. Conceptual development, Photoshop compositing and digital painting by IADT- Tampa Graphic Design Alumni Joel Santana. Creative Direction by Josef Mancino.
