A typographic cover illustration for the inaugural Variety500, an initiative by Variety magazine indexing the 500 global leaders in the entertainment industry.
The design was digitally drawn-up and then hand-cut out of sheets of coloured paper, using a sophisticated monotone palette with additional red tones to add a flash of vibrancy. These sheets of paper were then layered up at varying heights to give the artwork an interesting visual depth and photographed in the studio using natural light.
