DESIGN GOALS

We’ve now established two major goals that each revamped CBA cover and masthead concept should meet:

1. Keep all new concepts clean, fresh and timelessness to head off the misconception that CBA is a “retro” magazine. New concepts should be able to accommodate a wide range of cover art and styles from one month to the next.

2. The strong “comic book” feel of the current masthead should be downplayed in favor of a treatment that emphasizes the “artist”.

3. All new concepts should be act as more of a framing device to showcase each issue’s original cover art. Integration of the masthead with the art is still possible, but should be handled in a more subtle fashion.

And now, on with the show...
