Every January Azure publishes its annual Houses issue.  And for good reason.  This cover theme is invariably one of their best-selling issues year after year.

Rule #2:  Subject Matter Matters

This year’s cover is particularly striking…kudos to Karen Simpson, art director.  Modern.  Sophisticated.  Warm and vibrant.
The cover takes full advantage of the upper left quadrant to push the main sell line. I predict strong sales on this issue.
Take a moment and try your luck at the Azure Cover Quiz. It’s fun and instructive.
