Point in Time (abbreviated PT.) is a curation of articles from the "now" of the design world. This is the "next wave" issue. In this issue, I have selected four articles from brilliant journalists, like Theresa Christine Johnson, that solve this problem. From intuitive techniques for sustainable pigments, to the integration of AR in packaging, this publication touches the now.

Inspired by the phrase “the next wave,” the front cover uses a visual pun referencing The Great Wave off Kanagawa. The inside and outside covers are designed with a retrofuturist theme to represent digital technology.
1. Carbon-Negative Black Pigments
This single-spread article about sustainable pigments mentions their use in a collaboration with Nike and Billie Eilish. To attract new readers who might not immediately be interested, I highlighted Eilish with a full-bleed image and pull quote.
2. What to Know About Artificial Intelligence
The following article explores questions about how AI is impacting the graphic design community (at the time of the publication). The images are not mine; they are examples of AI-generated images that are discussed in the article.
3. Augmented Reality in Graphic Design
For an article about augmented reality (AR) in package design, the lockup features custom type made from a grid of dissipating dots. The futuristic elements throughout both spreads are inspired by the grid-like spatial mapping used in AR.
3. Inside Cy Biopharma’s Psilocybin-Based Design
These spreads, for an article about a modern brand identity, are designed to complement the brand's visuals.
