All I remember about making this cover is that @rphilps and I were tired. Like really tired. So tired we sort of just didn’t make a plan for the cover in time…

"Every Monday morning the company has meetings to see what we did great last week. It’s so much effort for nothing. People applaud and they seem to really like it. I don’t know if they mean it or not, but I always feel like I am in a really lame cult" https://t.co/s5jpDIKGPv

[Nicola Hamilton @nickydearest]

I was sent this @AIGAeyeondesign article about how magazine covers became political posters not once, but five times in the last five days. It's very good but ICYMI: https://t.co/rSOKohtHun

[Nicola Hamilton @nickydearest]

I talked to @DesignlinesMag about launching Issues Magazine Shop, working with Company Company and the future of print: https://t.co/r5G2h2dGYm
