Response

I wanted to take this week to respond to the spring break release of Vox- "under the virtual knife" executed by Heather. I thought this was a great solution once again by our design team. What I like the most is the attention to detail placed on her face and with the cursor/tabs. The cover also has great depth to it with the three dimensional boxes. It has a very virtual feel to it and I understand what is going on right away. If I had to come up with some sort of criticism it would just be editorially with the subject matter. I don't think this topic really appeals to our readership we've discussed. I know our editors were still trying to come up with what was going on the cover this issue up until break. Heather was in the dark and she did a real good job with what they gave her. So editors dropped the ball it seams, and the designer was there for the rescue. What else is new? Haha.
