Cover of the week: Peel & Reveal
Cottage Life has done a “Peel and Reveal” cover featuring Corona Beer on their Summer 2010 issue (for both subscriber and newsstand copies).
It is seamlessly executed.
“This was an idea that our sales team presented to the client about a year ago. It was expensive to produce, and required five additional days to print, glue and die cut. This is a first for Cottage Life, but the creative was executed easily. We were able to work with the client while sharing cover and creative at early stages with each other. Positioning of the peel worked well along the edge, and our cover lines were not compromised. This isn’t for everyone, but the concept was a success and everyone was happy.”
The creativity demonstrated here illustrates just how exciting the magazine medium can be. It deserves high praise. Clearly the entire team, from advertising, editorial and art, circulation and production worked in collaboration to achieve this success.
I’ll drink to that.

Sorry about that. I was quoting Cottage Life's Production Director. No press release, just my opinon. I think Al Z is one of the greatest publishers in Canadian Magazine history.

what about the ad/editorial line. Isn't this just advertiser on a cover, which, BTW, is against CSME guidelines. Here we go again...

I wondered that, too. And "the creativity demonstrated here illustrates just how exciting the magazine medium can be?!" Gawd, I hope not. Was that paragraph taken from a press release or something? Yech.
