"The Verge art team's favorite projects this year spanned the circus surrounding DOGE, the myths of the Vietnam War, the privacy crisis for trans people online, the vast surveillance network aimed at tracking down Iranian military dissidents, and much more. We built a kaleidoscope to showcase some standout products from The Verge 's gift guides, sent an illustrator to the crowded halls of the courthouse to draw Luigi Mangione fans and spectators live, and dug deep into the confusing world of News Daddy to create collages about how college students get their news."
"I was inspired by old encyclopedias, neoclassical architecture, and the DK kids books, the latter of which have random images in a stream-of-consciousness explosion that reminds me a lot of the strange little blue hyperlink pathways that might end you up on the Wikipedia page for Grouvellinus leonardodicaprioi."
"For this package commemorating the 50-year anniversary of the fall of Saigon, Kristen Radtke designed a split-screen hub to collect all the stories, reflecting the conflicting narratives and myths of the Vietnam War. Engineer Graham MacAree brought everything to life, while it was brilliantly illustrated by Tran Nguyen."
The Verge art team produced a wide range of projects covering topics from the DOGE phenomenon to the myths surrounding the Vietnam War, the online privacy crisis facing trans people, and surveillance efforts targeting Iranian military dissidents. The team created a kaleidoscope to showcase gift-guide products, sent an illustrator to courthouse halls to draw Luigi Mangione fans and spectators live, and made collages about how college students get news through News Daddy. Visual influences included old encyclopedias, neoclassical architecture, and DK kids books, and a split-screen hub commemorated the 50th anniversary of Saigon’s fall with engineering and illustration elements.
