It’s Freezing in LA! #1: Pilot
Creative direction, Editorial design


Cover design - It’s Freezing in LA! #1: PilotGraphic building up over the pages - It’s Freezing in LA! #1: PilotEditorial design with illustration by Haeun Kim - It’s Freezing in LA! #1: Pilot

The first issue of It's Freezing in LA! establishes its premise as an independent magazine covering the range of ways that climate change is affecting every aspect of life and culture. Topics in #1 include infrastructure, transport, history, law and theatre.

The magazine aims for inclusion of new audiences in the climate movement. The magazine carves a space between percieved opposites in climate and ecology spaces: data and activism, science and art. In the creative direction, science-driven data graphics mix together with human persectives and hand-rendered illustrations.

The cover’s data graphic builds throughout the pages, appearing on every spread that introduces a new article. The graphic is based on data that shows a global rise in temperatures, collected from NASA’s open source image library.
