Newspaper Design | Visual Identity | Commentary
Big Tech Art is a 64-page newspaper that critiques art and illustrations used by large tech corporations. The publication contains several online articles that talk about an art style known as "Corporate Memphis". Corporate Memphis is an overly simplistic illustration style that can be found on many large websites. It's used primarily because of its gleeful and simple design and can sometimes be used to mask the wrongdoings of tech companies. As the newspaper progresses, the design becomes more chaotic, reflecting the annoyance of seeing these illustrations over and over again.
