Issue 200's cover was produced in-house by designer Becca Allen and features a custom typeface called Deux Cents. Celloglas discussed the cover with Becca and other members of the Computer Arts team before the final selection of finishes were made. The cover had a combination of gold and black foil with texture and emboss, plus a spot UV varnish.
Becca visited Celloglas Reading and a video of the production of the cover was created and put on Youtube. Becca Allen, a designer at Computer Arts commented: “The production video has been really popular online, it provides our readers with a unique chance to see behind the scenes and find out how the cover was made”.
