100 Year Anniversary cover for the Progressive Magazine
Art Director: Nick Jehlen.
ON NEWS STANDS NOW!
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Nick from the Progressive, once again. I was given the green light to hand letter the cover, and the art direction to create something revolving around the theme of "peace", possibly using the dove as a symbol.
I came up with the idea of the connection between the four toed foot of the dove, and it's visual connection to the peace sign. I attempted to add a bit of narrative to the conceptual solution by showing the tracks of the dove leaving a cold winter for the thawing of a hopeful spring. Foraging for food, he comes across the green of the olive branch.

I hope this wasn't the one you were kicking yourself over - it looks great, and I love the hand-lettering!

This is a beautiful piece Sterling, that patch of grass really gets me. I've also really enjoyed looking at your back page of virginia living every month. (the last one is a lot of fun) I hope you have a great summer and congratulations on everything.
