Throughout my career at MAD, I have art directed and designed several covers, posters, ads, and layouts that featured key art. While not technically part of the film industry, I was often tasked with making bold, cinematic images that immediately grabbed your attention. Just like movie posters, a great magazine or book cover—even an editorial design—is meant to entice and tempt the audience, to lure them in and capture their interest. Here are some of my best examples of key art—both from magazine covers and editorial pieces, pulled from over a decade of design.
