In Davis, there is a local freeform radio station called KDVS. It's widely considered to be one of the better freeform stations in the world, boasting the second largest music library in California. The first of which, being the library of Doctor Demento. Of course, I have a bit of a bias on this subject, since I myself am a dj and have a punk show (entitled Trotsky and the Crimson Airwaves) at KDVS, which can be heard every Saturday night from 9-11 if you are in the greater Sacramento area and can be streamed online if you are not.
Alright, enough of this shameless self promotion. KDVS puts out a quarterly publication entitled KDViationS which features a programming guide, music reviews, interviews with bands and so on and so forth. This quarter (spring 2008) I did the cover art for it, which is the above image. However this image is only a rough draft of sorts, there are two more, neater versions of it, which I will post later along with a pdf of the KDViation (many of which can be view or downloaded from the KDVS website). One being this same collage with the title painted across the top and the other being the version with all of the headlines (my hand painted title may be in it or they may have put in their own title on Photoshop) on it and the image neatened up in Photoshop (I had the liberty of not needing to be too cautious with this one, knowing that they were going to clean it up anyway. For example that smiley face in the background won't be on the final copy). I'd like to note that this image is actually a scanned copy of the collage, as opposed to the others, which are all digital photos. Also, in this upcoming KDViationS, which I believe may actually be leaving the presses later today, I have dope article on the theory and practice of mixtaping. Check it out.
