Import Tuner cover build-up video

Hello YouTubes!
Hearing my voice is freakin’ disturbing… Do I really sound like this? I’ll blame it on my room acoustics.

My buddy Jeff Creech, the cover car photographer for this issue, proposed for me to do a step-by-step guide on how the Import Tuner covers are pieced together. The idea had been itching the back of my brain for a while so this felt like the perfect opportunity. I’ve done a lot of covers in my 5 year span of being an Art Director, so why not go an extra step.

My head hurts

… but damn I’m proud. I became the Art Director for Import Tuner a little over a year ago. Before working for the mag I thought “how do they make such beautiful covers?”, now I’m behind the wheel makin’ it happen (pats self on back). I’ll move to patting to preaching, because I think the Import Tuner covers are the best, most eye-appealing car covers on the newsstand. Many thanks to the photographers that help piece them together. Jon Domingo, Jeff Creech, Luke Munnell, Scott Dukes, and Steve Demmitt to name a few.

Import Tuner: Supra Cover

Old news to me, but considering my blog is new, I feel I should touch base on a few of my highlights from the past few months. One of them being cover for Import Tuner Magazine, October 2008 to be exact. Working for the magazine I sort of took this accomplishment for granted, but just because I’m the Art Director for the magazine doesn’t give me a shoe-in for the cover… However, so far I’m 1 for 1!!!
