OCTOBER 2019
Kobe
For this special issue, released shortly after Kobe Bryant’s death, we opted for no copy on the cover. A single soaring image of Kobe flying up into the void said it all.
This one won One Show and CA awards.

February 2022: Are you safe?
A noir inspired image seemed fitting for a cover story about citizens who scared to go out into the newly dangerous post-covid world.
May 2022: 60th Anniversary
For the magazine’s 60th anniversary cover we kept it simple with some gold sparkling sequins a la the red carpet to commemorate the event.
