The New York Times

Headway
I had a great pleasure illustrating and animating my first NYT pieces for the weekly column “Headway” about global issues and their solutioning.

Tools used: After Effects, Blender, Procreate
Art Direction: Jason Chiu






Process
Built around a limited color palette and a recurring arrow motif, the visuals were designed to feel simple and clear.

Because the illustrations needed subtle animation, some pieces were created in 3D to allow for smoother movement.


Let’s work together.
