The brief

The weekend supplement wanted its covers to feel slower than the news inside: something people would keep on the kitchen table until Monday.

How I made it

Each cover started as a pencil drawing on the Wednesday story meeting and was painted by Friday. I kept the flowers large and the backgrounds empty so the masthead always had room.

the client said

Our readers started framing the covers. That had never happened before.
