Graphic Design Brief
The Arctic Yearbook is an annual peer reviewed journal. We like to have a distinctive cover . This year's theme is about the geopolitical tensions between Russia and the rest. I want to depict the "great game" being played at the top of the world. For example, depicting the Arctic as a chess board with Arctic/Indigenous motif.
The Arctic Yearbook 2024 logo should be on the front, and the AY2024 logo should be on the spine. The Arctic Yearbook and Arctic Portal logos should be on the back cover, which can otherwise be simple.
It needs to include the title, which should be prominent: "Arctic Relations: Transformations, Legacies and Futures"
It needs to list the authors: "Lassi Heininen, Justin Barnes and Heather Exner-Pirot, eds."
I have included the AY2024 logos, as well as the last two covers for reference. It shows the dimensions we are looking for and where logos should be.
Back cover should also include: ISSN 2298-2418
