Response

I wanted to respond to last weeks' Vox cover. I like the concept with the brain on love idea. The brain certainly gets your attention. The illustration and words work really well together. I also liked the blurbs taking the image to another level. I think without these the illustration of the brain would lose some merit and place on the cover. I know we were going for the lines to show exactly where in the brain this takes place, but I don't think as a I reader I get that. The lines really make the cover look like an infographic you might find in a newspaper. So the entertainment value I think is loosened with these. But this is just food for thought. I thought it was a unique way to do a Valentines day-like cover without just hearts and things. So way to get outside the box.
