This project features a New Yorker Magazine cover and two-page spread illustrating the article What Magnus Carlsen's Jeans Have to Do with Chess. The core visual concept is built upon the tension between the rich tradition of chess and the casual influence of modern fashion, using Carlsen's choice of denim jeans as a metaphor for larger cultural shifts within the game. The cover uses contrasting colors to immediately underline this clash, while the accompanying two-page spread continues the narrative with a chess match composition: one side is depicted in a classic suit and the other in sports jeans, personifying the conflict. The design employs diagonal lines to create dynamic visual flow, with textures and shading adding depth to this playful yet insightful exploration of innovation and tradition in competitive chess.
