IMPORTANT - KEEP IN MIND
While this is a TECHNOLOGY edition it is still and oil and gas edition.
So we need to blend those two concepts together!
OIL & GAS with TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION

We know that what ever our challenges - our creativity with technology and innovation will ALWAYS prevail.
How can we illustrate this concept on a cover?
How can we communicate the advancement of innovation and technology in the oil and gas sector in a way that readers can't wait to find out what's inside? These are your questions and your design challenge.

Thanks we look forward to your submissions!

COVER CONTENT

We could play with the word Technology
Tech
Knowledge Y

We could also use images that communicate rapid advancement and futuristic solutions.

A new energy mix is what's coming for the future including fracking, offshore, oil sands, solar, battery
We could communicate this dynamic melting pot of energy solutions around the globe

3 WAYS TO SUCCEED
INNOVATION
TECHNOLOGY
CREATIVITY

And the logo and image

You may use ANY type of images you need from Dreamstime.
When we select the winner we can download the dreamstime image at high resolution for you. :) Lots of options.
We don't like a lot on the covers - so this will be enough.

NOTE:
This cover should INSPIRE readers to pick it up. It's making technical oil and gas knowledge, easy to understand. It's a magazine that provided leading edge technical information but in a format that can be understood by industry and the overall consumer. So The OGM is B to B and B to C publication - as it is sold on newsstands and also sent via subscription.

This cover will convey a futuristic high tech look and feel. It will jump off the shelf yet it will stay in keeping with our branding. Very simple and elegant without much text on the cover.

See our covers of the past to formulate your ideas and designs.
This will help!

Wild and wonderful ideas could be a computer connecting with a hand or a face as if they become one.

Battery energy

We are looking for the WOW factor.
We want people to look at the cover and to say, "Wow How Clever".
Look at how they integrated design elements that deliver a punch!

This cover will turn heads and make people want to buy it on the news stands.

I have attached previous covers, and promotional materials which we use for this OTC edition of The OGM. As well the LOGO is attached and should follow standard format. Additionally all the links to the website and past editions have been provided.
