On The Cover
Illustrator Brian Allen took our vague idea about an
anniversary cake and turned it into a bold, lively image.
Allen created the cover by drawing in Manga Studio and
Adobe Photoshop using the Wacom Cintiq, a digital tablet
display. His freelance illustration company, Flyland
Designs, is based in Bellefonte, Pa.
