Picturing the future

If we don’t embrace the vision of a sustainable future, who will bear the climate costs?

We have a monthly meeting in which we thrash out our ideas for graphics to illustrate the features and the front cover – Adam always describes it as the work highlight of the month. For this issue, we had to focus on the climate crisis and the global efforts to combat it at Cop26 in Glasgow last month. Having discarded several ideas that varied on a theme of the Earth (in various styles, and placed in test tubes, petri dishes, hands etc), we came upon the idea you can see on the front and back of the magazine. Our ideas were expertly turned into reality by freelance artist Doug John Miller.
