The Making Of A Game Infarcer Cover
Instead of publishing a bunch of fake news stories online on April 1, Game Informer's April Fools' Day tradition is the Game Infarcer humor piece in our magazine. It's five pages of falsehoods, all under the direction of a fictional editor-in-chief. Even though it's a pretend magazine, we still take Game Infarcer's cover seriously, and you can see the process by which artist Zander Cannon created this year's masterpiece.
Cannon (of Big Time Attic) is the talent behind all of our recent Game Infarcer covers, and we continue to be impressed with his uncanny ability to create great compositions while still cramming in plenty of visual gags. How does he do it? You can see for yourself right here, where Cannon chronicles the artistic process from beginning to end.
You can see a sample of the full image below, but for the complete effect, you'll have to pick up our April issue!
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
