I need a cover for the 2020 volume of the Arctic Yearbook, an international peer reviewed journal. Past covers are available to see at https://arcticyearbook.com (click 'full version' for each year in the dropdown menu to get to the cover in ISSUU)
The theme is "Climate Change and the Arctic: Global Origins, Regional Responsibilities?" I would like an ironic cover, I'm thinking a cartoonish image of a confused polar bear, looking at cartoonish scientists, activists, ships, a person in a business suit. The idea is that the bear's space is being infringed upon by those from the 'outside' that think they are innocent or impactless. I want the perspective to be from the bear, to turn on its head the idea of polar bears as mere objects of study or pity or concern.
Because it's a cover, it needs the Arctic Yearbook 2020 logo (attached), and the title and editors on the front:
[Title] Climate Change and the Arctic: Global Origins, Regional Responsibilities?
[Editors] Lassi Heininen, Heather Exner-Pirot and Justin Barnes (eds.)
On the back it needs the ISSN number:
ISSN number 2298-2418
And the logos of our publishers, attached (arctic portal and NRF)
And it needs a spine with the Arctic Yearbook 2020 logo (attached).
We have been using A4 cover with 26mm spine.
I have attached the 2018 cover for reference and for cover dimensions.
