Weekly magazines have very quick turnarounds so everything is happening simultaneously. We'd been thinking that the theme was the insurmountable task of policing the Financial Sector that the SEC was taking on with limited resources. But the article ended up much more tabloid-like, and touted the recent success of the SEC in such a way that my design (though finished at this point) was no longer valid. A good painting can still be a bad illustration when used incorrectly, so though I'm disappointed I couldn't be on the cover, I very much agree with the Creative Director's, and Editor's (and whoever else was involved) decision. It also doesn't reflect very well on my cognitive abilities if another art director were to see my illustration and notice that it was off the mark. I believe the final cover was made with very short notice, and considering the time restrictions, isn't all that bad.Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08458473493838784528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7178124403735507970.post-37898901033736718672012-04-25T16:14:32.201-04:002012-04-25T16:14:32.201-04:00wow... who ever is calling the shots over there at...wow... who ever is calling the shots over there at that mag, needs to be fired.
