The Advocate's 40th anniversary cover's certainly colorful, but one wonders if much lauded new art director Luke Hayman's creation can be called original. Not by the looks of it…

It takes a great deal of thought to copy a program guide. I am so pleased that Advocate is playing by their own rules, walking on the edge and truly pushing the envelope. Is 40 the new 65? Time to retire?
I just got my Advocate, and find its ballyhoo'd logo redesign pretty underwhelming (not to mention the cover itself is buttugly). I'll reserve my undoubtedly bitchy judgment for next issue, when they unveil their edgy and exciting interior redesign–no telling who they'll steal that from…
Not only unoriginal, but a poor copy. The Tennis cover has energy and movement within the colors. The Advocate just has colors. The Tennis cover looks like it was created by a Designer. The Advocate looks like it was made by a High School art student. Boring!
Gregg – You crack me up. You are so right. I would say maybe a 1st semester college student, though!
The tennis cover also has heirarchy, background and foreground. It has a more complex layering strategy and is frankly just better, though neither is really THAT exciting.
