Description

For this special finance issue we created a new design system by tweaking how we use our proprietary fonts. With a subtle nod to engraving, through our illustration choices and an unusual color palette, we created a special issue that is appropriate for kids but doesn't 'talk down' graphically. A page of beautiful play money was added as a slip sheet in the middle to cut and play with.
