My daily workout routine

This is the cover for a daily training routine. It is shot outdoors on a track under cloud, which is unusual in a category that defaults to a gym mirror, and that is most of why it stands out in a list.

Framelink Media stacked the headline in three lines down the left, where the track and the sky are empty, so nothing had to be covered to make room for it. Each line sits in its own dark box rather than one block, which keeps the words legible across a sky that changes brightness behind them.

The runner is caught mid-stride with both feet off the ground. A still of somebody standing on a track is a photograph of a track, and the whole cover depends on the movement being visible at a glance.

The grade is cool and low contrast apart from the red shoes, which are the one warm thing in the frame and the first thing the eye finds.
