“Icarus Complex is a nonprofit magazine that takes an in-depth look at the issues surrounding climate change. The themes and content that form the heart of the magazine are serious, but we didn’t always want to stay polite and politically correct in its design. To give it the right voice, we graphically measured the tone we used through typographic ‘games,’ ‘gut-punching’ imagery and ‘storytelling’ illustration. This mixture creates an aesthetic that pushes readers inside themes that are not beautiful but need to be treated with the maximum amount of respect.”
