The
San Antonio Current is another alternative weekly newspaper featuring remarkable cover design and imagery created on a shoestring budget.
Chuck Kerr is the talented graphic designer/illustrator/poster maker (and band drummer!) who has art directed the
Current for the past four years. Kerr's cover designs, many of them featuring his own illustration and photo illustration talents, are graphic, playful, engaging, and very smart. The above Tex-Mex salute to Andy Warhol's
Velvet Underground & Nico LP cover, which Kerr describes as "a fitting tribute to San Antonio's vastly underrated local music scene," is just one example of the intelligence and graphic power of the
Current's cover design.
