Best Cover:
Web Description:
It’s hard not to be attracted to this cover of Surf featuring a young boy poking his tongue out at the camera. It is, in the words of Wedge & Lever, “sophistication that does not take itself too seriously.”

Critique:
This cover shows a young boy surfing with a wild expression on his face. The format of the cover is very appealing to the eye. The main background is a soft yellow covered by a clear red colored font that stands out. The placement of each section of writing in very organized and balanced. The photo itself attracts most of the attention mainly from the exited look on the boys face and how he is paused mid wave while surfing. The photo is also black and white which helps with balance of colors to make an all around clear cover.

Relationship of words and images:
The relationship between words and images is how they compliment each other. In my opinion a cover should have a theme which lets the words give info while the image represents that info.
