CONCEPT:
Our Culture Issue this year included a series of profiles and essays on a diverse selection of topics that influence today's culture. These range from a profile on Puerto Rican reggaetón artist, Bad Bunny, to an essay and portfolio about the preservation of Black culture for future generations. By using blackletter typography with a colorful and unexpected palette, the design is a modern take on tradition, showing that today's culture is shifting and that there are new voices giving it new meanings.
