Witham Staple cover designs from past issues
This page includes a selection cover designs from recent past issues of the printed magazine. These images are reproduced here with the permission of The Witham Staple and should not be reproduced without that permission.
The different designs that appear
each month on the front cover of The Witham Staple are a distinctive feature of
the printed magazine. The pleasing fact is that the pictures have been produced
specifically for that purpose by people who live in The Witham Staple villages.
We should like this to continue to be the case and so are inviting submissions
from any of our readers who feel inspired. You may choose any subject that might
be appropriate to the purpose.
The design must measure 12.5 cm by 12.5 cm. It must be on white paper and in black ink or ballpoint pen. It must be your own original work — freehand and neither traced, copied nor computer-generated.
For further information, please contact the Editor.
