Hi:
I've just looked at the nine candidates for the Art
Doc design competition. In my opinion, of the nine entries, only no.
1 comes close to being as good as or (perhaps) better than our current
cover. I hesitate to fill out the voting form because I don't feel that
the choices are adequate. I'm sure the committee has worked long and hard
on this project. Perhaps the lack of choices is because there were not
enough entries? Then let's give it some more time. Let's not choose
a different design just for the sake of change. By the way, it wasn't
clear, but I'm assuming that in the case of no. 1, the cover art would change
from issue to issue, so we would be voting for the typography and its placement
only? I think it would be great to have a different image on each issue's
cover, but is that OK with the editorial board, who would have to choose (and
perhaps pay for) a different image for each issue?
