best of the rest / Francesco Franchi

31-08-2011

This week Coverjunkie asked Francesco Franchi, Design Director for awardwinning IL Magazine (a supplement from Italian Il Sole 24 ORE) about his favorite covers:

Here Francesco's first favorite cover (out of 3) he designed himself:
IL 29
April 2011: "惨禍のあとの生活 (La vita dopo l’apocalisse)"
IL uses current events as the key to understand changes in lifestyle. IL magazine tries to be ironic, provocative, unconventional and reflective as well. This cover about Japan earthquake and rebirth is a good example of what we would like to reach.
