The New Yorker is among the most respected periodicals in America, but even more importantly, it is a publication that utilizes illustration in a myriad of ways. Articulate and dense articles are offset by imagery that is just as thought provoking and intelligent, and the magazine is among the rare few that still features an illustrated cover for every issue.

This is an introduction to the editorial world, as seen through the lens of this magazine. Examining its history and the unique position it holds in the publishing landscape, you will be introduced to the numerous ways editorial illustrators can contribute to a publication, both in content and format. The New Yorker tackles a broad range of topics reflecting the current times, spanning everything from journalistic reporting, fashion, gastronomy, humor and satire, to short fiction. This course is for those with a keen interest in translating the written word into visible form with wit and style.
