What about stepping way outside the realm...When I say stepping outside, I mean what about different shoes that people wear for all walks of life...even using the barefoot could be in play...Now granted this may be a very long shot of getting chosen for the cover but I will suspect many who enter this will have the same types of responses to this theme. Baby shoes, work shoes, play and former wear shoes...slippers what ever you can composite into a very graphical and emotional image. Shoes of the different cultures...only two weeks is not a lot of time to put this together. I'll try to come up with a thumbnail sketch to demonstrate what the possibilities could look like. What ever you decide, I would recommend having the premise by the middle of the week. Also, what medium will you be illustrating this entry?
