Exhibit B Agency designed the August cover for Grown magazine's anticipated August issue. Nestled at the heart of this project is the cover featuring Naezrah, a New York native, whose bold makeup artistry transcends aesthetics and ventures into realms of expressive narratives. Following the theme of Y2K meets Avant Garde, the August issue cover pays homage to a significant period around the turn of the millennium, from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. It was characterized by a unique blend of culture, technology, fashion, and media. Along with the photo editing done for the issue, Exhibit B created an animated video in celebration of the theme that’s as timeless as it is nostalgic.

“The August Issue emerged as a testament to artistic convergence. It was where the boldness of the Y2K era collided with the audacious spirit of avant-garde.”

The typeface used is a display titling sans serif. It stands as a contemporary ode to the iconic Y2K era. It's a typeface where the nostalgia of the past meets the eclectic style of the present with a 3D chrome effect.
