This magazine cover illustration for DeisnFax magazine was developed in conjunction with the magazine's art director for their annual trade show issue. The art director wanted to have a modern looking design that emulated the pulp sci-fi movie posters of the fifties.

The design originated witha series of sketches to get the overall layout of the cover of the magazine, as well as to allow for certain fixed elements suh as the masthead and UPC code area. Once the basic layout was complete, detail work was done on the robot to get his look and feel, and the remaining elements were drawn, scanned and added. This project was drawn by hand and colored in Adobe Photoshop, although were I to do the project today it would be done in Adobe Illustrator as it lends it self to the art style much more. At the time I was not as proficient in Illustrator as I am today, hence the decision to use Photoshop.

The illustration was developed in layers within Photoshop to allow for repositioning of the elements for additional design work in which the illustration was to be used. DesignFax used the modified design in their advertising rates flyer, and an additional robot was designed for the back cover of the promotional flyer.
