Here are my latest magazine covers for Vanity Fair. They appeared in the September issue under the hed and dek “Annals of Our Endangered Medium: Some Shotgun Magazine Mergers You Might Soon See (Second in a Series).” I’m especially amused by how perfectly the Out and Car and Driver logos fit together.

Out & Driver

Town & Country & Guns & Ammo

Wired Brides

The first installment of “Annals of Our Endangered Medium” appeared in the March 2009 issue.

Beautiful Work! I could actually contribute an article for Wired Brides - when we got married 13 years ago, I wrote a comprehensive “Accu-wedding” invitation manager, gift/thank you card tracker and reception attendance predictor.

These are great! Where’d you get the photo for Town & Country & Guns & Ammo? Impressive.

Hey, Khoi!

The T&C&G&A cover image is a stock photo, minus the rifle; I added the rifle in Photoshop. I designed the cover with placeholder images, and then VF’s photo department did some research and presented me with licensable options. I then reconfigured the cover using the two licensed images.

Wow, yeah. With the T&C&G&A one, I was beginning to think you actually did a photo shoot. Great stuff!
