New Yorker Assignment

http://www.newyorkerstore.com/covers/icat/217/



THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE COVER


You are to create a cover for The New Yorker. You may use any of the mediums in your kit to create your drawing. The importance of this assignment is to not only exercise your drawing skills, but to also help to develop your concept abilities. Then, equally as important is to do your research on the dimensions of the cover of the New Yorker!!!

The New Yorker is a good assignment because its magazine picks illustrations from a wide range of topics.

I would like you to do diligent research prior to choosing a topic by exploring examples of the covers both by looking at copies of the magazine at the library and also online.

The project needs to include The New Yorker masthead and be the same size as the actual magazine.

This project will be due Monday of next week at the beginning of class.
