Literary Magazine cover

Description

My friend Amanda and last year's Language Arts teacher asked me to try to make a cover for this year's literary magazine called The Unsheltered Eye.

The idea is that when you read poetry, literature, view art, etc, you are getting an intimate view of what it means to be human and what the meaning of existence is. By looking closely at something small, ex. a poem, which is created by a single little being in this wide world, we gain knowledge of the meaning of life and therefore the universe. So she is looking through a microscope representing looking into the world of art and expression. The background is a starscape because art provides meaning and understanding. And even though we may never understand or comprehend the vast universe, we may understand a little bit more about our world as sentient organisms.

So to sum it all up, looking at the small facets of human expression open of a universe of possibilities and knowledge.

It reminds me of how Future World at Epcot in Florida used to be like. When the emphasis on space was why we as a human race are pushing forward: to find those like us. Yet this forwad thinking leads to inward evaluation. Which literature and art are the expressions of those ideas!

Great artwork! cant wait to pick this one up! ;)
