Assignment

Design and title a feature article on artist Magnus Gjoen.

Approach

Artist, Magnus Gjoen, is known for his unique way of juxtaposing the ironic qualities of existence and drawing out the beauty in them. The article's opening image of two dogs holding a grenade served as the graphic and color inspiration for our font choice — which literally has a connection between the A and the P, mirroring the chain the dogs are holding.
