Dexter Covers, Showtime, Excellent





















As a promotional lead up to the fantastic new season of Showtime's Dexter, Showtime created several different magazine covers featuring lead Michael C. Hall as the show's namesake. To a graphic designer, these are an interesting study in the replication of a concept. Too cool.

Oh, and Dexter is great too. One of the most original, well written and acted programs in television history. At some point Showtime just flat out passed HBO for the highest quality. Since The Sopranos took the dirtnap, Entourage has been kind of slow and Curb Your Enthusiasm has been up and down, Showtime has come on strong with The Tudors(featuring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers), Dexter, and my favorite, Californication. Californication is very adult content, but is very well written and acted by the killer David Duchovny as Hank Moody, one of my favorite characters ever.
