“En Route to Summer” by Volume One staff

“En Route to Summer” by Ma Vue, Allison Buchli, & Jade JuedesFrom the artists: “Inspired by our love for local foods, biking and all things outdoors, our staff landed on biking & picnics for this year’s  ‘Best Of Summer’ issue cover. From curating the items in the basket and the teal-colored bike, to orchestrating the overhead shot with hard lighting, we wanted to portray the vibrant energy of summer in Wisconsin. Ensuring the sun cast the correct shadows meant strategically planning the time of day for the shoot and meticulously positioning the bike to achieve the winning summer cover! We hope you enjoy it as much as we did creating it!”

Volume One finds its cover art in a number of ways, from local art shows to random emails to knowing someone who knows someone who knows a great artist. The art always originates from a current or former Chippewa Valley resident. If you'd like to submit cover art, send us a message.
