In our first 21 issues we have had an assortment of material on the
magazine cover.  Most have been some sort of computer-generated drawing,
at least one was a photo and a couple have been hand drawn.  Issue 21,
which is now at the printer has a really cool cover.  Watch for it or
check it out at http://www.ssc.com/lj/issue21.

We are looking for new cover ideas.  A couple of vendors have suggested we
put a product (their product, of course) on the cover.  After talking
about it internally we have decided to solicit ideas.  For vendors I
welcome proposals.  They should contain a cover idea and explain why it
would be appropriate for our cover.  (For example, showing a box of CDs
doesn't seem very interesting/appropriate but a photo of an office full of
Linux systems does.)

If you are not a vendor but might be interested in creating a cover with a
specific idea also feel free to contact me.  As we all know, the purpose
of the magazine cover is to get someone to pick it up.  While we are not
interested in non-Linux covers to get that eye appeal, an important
ingredient in your cover proposal is why it will be eye-catching.

Send along your ideas (you can mail them to Cover Ideas, Linux Journal,
P.O. Box 55549, Seattle, WA 98155 or e-mail them to phil@ssc.com.
If we like your proposal we will contact you to work out the details.
