DESIGN A SINGLE COVER WINNER
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
We’ve decided on the winner for ‘DESIGN A SINGLE COVER: BON IVER’S CALGARY’. Okay, so the likelihood of us sending out an actual chicken dinner is not great, it’s probably against Food and Safety standards, only slightly. I mean, we could always hand deliver the chicken, but the winner lives overseas and the taxman probably isn’t going to deem such a trip as a necessary ‘business expense’. So, instead we’re just going to send the talented LOUISE NORMAN a bunch of SPOOKY treats, including a copy of our latest issue, as she designed a lovely single cover for Bon Iver’s ‘Calgary’, and this is what she had to say about it:
My design is the couple from the video intertwined and duplicated, and then making a kind of heart with a map of calgary on one side and branches on the other like seen in the video. In the video they come together and I thought this idea illustrated it as well as it being a bit quirky with the heads making up the other heads. I used my own illustrations and hand drawn type in Photoshop elements.

Thank you to all who submitted a design, we loved checking them out. And, never fear if you missed out on the bragging rights this time, as we’re going to run this comp again in the not too distant future, so stay tuned!






Wait – I don’t get it? Does this mean her design will be the cover? Does this competition have anything to do with Bon Iver?
No it will not be the cover, it’s just an opportunity for designers to take part in, get their name out there a bit more and possibly win some prizes!
