The New Yorker

DESIGN BRIEF

Design and create a new cover for The New Yorker Magazine. The magazine is well known for it’s beautiful cover artwork, and the design must fit into the theme of global warming, climate change or ocean pollution. 

​

DESIGN SOLUTION

Using watercolour pencil and Photoshop, this cover depicts a homeless orangutan begging for money, with a man offering palm oil in place of money – the very thing that made the orangutan homeless in the first place. This example of deforestation reflects the contribution to global warming, whilst also fitting in with The New Yorker cover style.
