CUTE NEWS

Date: 2020

Description: CUTE NEWS was a publication created during my final year on the Graphic Communication Design course at Central Saint Martins. CUTE NEWS explored how British media outlets were reporting sensationalised headlines during the Covid-19 pandemic. For the duration of my final year I was exploring cute design and how cute aesthetics interact with socio-political modern issues. I was inspired to create CUTE NEWS as I intended for the cuteness of the illustrative style to elevate the level of fear and destruction the British public were facing during the pandemic. The colourful, seemingly innocent caricatures of different political figures creates a tongue-in-cheek commentary contrasted with the actual dark headlines that the public were exposed to.
