CONCEPT:
Our annual New York Issue was devoted to live performance. We featured twelve performers — a Metropolitan Opera singer, a subway dancer, and a sword swallower among them—who epitomize the spirit of the city’s creative class. A vivid, typographic cover, inspired by DIY performance flyers, sets the tone for the issue, in which the photojournalist Brenda Ann Kenneally’s photographs of each performer interact with bespoke typography that captures the chaos, energy, and panache of New York City.
