Winning page design

007cover_1Making something from nothing is one of Rod Pocowatchit’s many talents at The Eagle.

A senior journalist and features page designer, Rod won our in-house December page design contest with his inventive, end-of-year, ’007 GO! cover.

How did he do it?

"I got the idea after I saw an ad for ‘Casino Royale’ (the new James Bond movie) on TV, and suddenly it clicked that the new year was going to be 007, so I thought it would be fun to do a faux James Bond 007 theme.

"My co-worker, Coryanne Graham, suggested the trademark gun barrel image. I did some research, then did the illustration based on that."

That’s the best way to end the year with a bang.
