NEW YORK TIMES, EDUCATING GENERATION Z COVER

The NY Times commission to design the cover of the LEARNING section highlighting an article entitled “Educating Gen Z”. I wanted to communicate the idea of education simply and quickly so I built a ‘Z’ using the tip of two graphite pencils to make out the counter-forms of the letter. Using dark yellow color as a reference to the number two pencil. The result is a bold and graphic cover highlighting the gap families must fill between the price of college and the aid they receive.
