Editorial Design: Sellouts

As an editorial designer, I work collaboratively with editors, photographers, and illustrators to bring words to life. The story associated with this layout is all about the weird world of celebrity endorsement. I created a design motif built around Andy Warhol's infamous Brillo Box, a piece of art that perfectly captured the strange, high-low tension between art and advertising, fame and the ordinary. The folios, supermarket price stickers, are a kitschy riff on the concept.

This article was a wild ride, with a complicated constellation-based infographic outlining associations between celebrities and products, and beautiful illustrations by Kelsey Dake throughout. Another fun challenge!
