Above: Cover Creation by Peter Belanger

Peter Belanger is a product and editorial photographer based in San Francisco. He shot the September 2009 cover of Macworld magazine and recorded the process using time lapse photography.

In his own words, “After working on the latest cover for Macworld I wanted to show what is involved in making a cover. I focused on the three main areas: the photography, photoshop and design. I chose a time lapse format to convey lots of information in a small amount of time… Lots of details were left out of the design process (like the cover meetings and rounds of layout options). I began to photograph the design process after the layouts had already been narrowed down to just three cover designs.”

Very cool. Check out Peter’s blog here.
