Graphic Design: John Morgan Studio make some compelling covers for the new Art Review

We don’t often feature a single magazine cover on the site, but John Morgan Studio’s recent work for Art Review is so strong that we’re prepared to make an exception (also, it’s four different covers). The prolific designer, who undertook a wholesale redesign of the publication back in September 2013, has just commissioned these striking cover images, by excellent photographers Luke and Nik, that white out the faces of typically stylised head shots to introduce an issue that deals with the unknown artists of the future. The concept, photography and execution are all top notch, and it’s exciting to see a publication with such pedigree embrace an experimental cover that will undoubtedly set it apart on the newsstands. They are VERY unnerving though…
