Back Cover is a french magazine containing thoughts, critical or historical analysis and individual or collective experiences in graphic design, typography, illustration and visual arts. I enjoy the cover of the Winter/Spring 2010 Issue 3 because the colors and curvilinear type is very appealing to the reader. Using the tricolors of France's flag-- royal blue (liberty), white (equality), and red (fraternity)-- shows off its country's pride. The type is simple, bold, and easy to follow. In my opinion, including the headlines, author and page numbers on the cover successfully draws the audience in.
The magazine continues to show other interesting covers that display type in various directions and layouts.
If you know how to read french, I definitely recommend looking through Back Cover.
Merci d'avoir lu!
