The Economist: another winning cover

Take a look. When the words and the images come together well: The Economist cover.

 

The folks at The Economist always surprise. And they make it all look so easy.

But we know differently: it takes creative workshopping, tons of back and forth on ideas before something like what you see here happens: the ultimate marriage of words and visual images.

This is WED at its best.  Yes, WED as in Writing/Editing/Design that come together to tell a story quickly and effectively.

We can learn lessons from this cover.

It is fun, too.
