Glory Days

Sprucing up my graphics portfolio to try and get some new clients and decided to add some of the livelier mag covers I worked on in the late 90s, back when I actually enjoyed my job. 

There was a lot of freedom design-wise working on Car Hifi and then, briefly, Fast Car and a lot of laughs to be had in the workplace.

I often got to go along to the photo shoots too, be it for product shots of the latest in-car audio kit, a bloke showing off his latest install or the model shoot for the front cover.

This was in the era of the lads mag, Loaded, Nuts etc, so every consumer mag had to have a model on the cover too. Car Hifi managed to keep this fairly tasteful for the most part.

Unfortunately, years of highly un-glamorous trade mags in restrained fun-free offices would follow...
