What's a good Magazine Cover Theme?

Magazine cover concept help: financial literacy + disability

  • Magazine cover design meeting in 3 hours and I'm stuck. We're a cross-disability magazine and the next theme is roughly "asset building and financial literacy". Our message: not as scary as it sounds. Please help me brainstorm image ideas, hive mind. What we don't want: images of piggy banks or money What we do want: something inviting so people pick it up Who we are: cross-disability magazine that's been publishing for over 30 years Content of this magazine will include: people with all types of disabilities (mental health, physical, learning, developmental, etc) to accessing plain-language information about "asset building" and financial literacy. Eg: savings accounts, Registered Disability Savings Plans (we're in Canada), and how to build non-tangible assets through community networks (trading, exchanges, swaps, etc), what community resources exist, etc. If you're curious, see previous issues online here: http://www.bccpd.bc.ca/transitionlive.htm Thanks for any help! Long time reader, Sam

  • Answer:

    Illustration of a person sitting atop a very tall, precarious pile of assets (could be money, but also a car, a house, expensive household products).

Have you done thumbnails? What'd you come up with? What we don't want: images of piggy banks or money Think about what money buys both in terms of physical goods and mental state. There should be plenty of options there. Who are your local photographers? Have you talked to them about this?

View from the back of an empty classroom, with most of the focus on the chalkboard. Hand-written on the board is your message: "Financial literacy: It's not as hard as you think." Elsewhere on the cover, floating text: "Go back to school with our articles on:", then follow with a bulleted list of specific topics.
