It is well known that Issue 0 (the first one) is the make or break of a new print magazine — hence named 0. Its survival depending solely on how sales go. Then, there might be a second issue. No guarantee.
The biggest efforts are put into designing a jaw dropping cover. Many Issue 0 become still born magazines. Out there, because of their incredible graphic, visual and technical qualities, although disappeared altogether from market, they resurface and stock avid collectors shelves.
Thus, a cover sells. Most books catch us by first impression, and that is the intent of why a jacket or cover is designed. So here’s a pearl for you: if only for finding instant stimulation, or to appreciate the variety or to proof one of your concepts, hours and hours of browsing awaits in The Book Cover archive.

Carole Gautier and Eugénie Favre make up the design collective Polkaouistiti and upon landing on their black and white interface, you are greeted with a huge logo, then an equally huge manifesto is posted. In fact, everything is huge, including their talent.
I find their work personal and by using bold graphics, favoring black and accentuating with colors, gives it an edge with a somewhat dreamy quality to it.
