Short explanation of the story and how it developed:

A deceptively simple cover concept that is brilliant in its complexity - powerful text combines with humourous imagery and clever cover lines to immediately portray multiple elements: that there was a start-up program offering substantial rewards for aspiring entrepreneurs; that the program relied heavily on a social media program for awareness (BIG mistake; and that $2,500 doesn't go far to attract attention from business start-ups. In direct contrast to the program itself, this was our most talked about cover of the year.
