‘New York’ priorities, in red and black

The listings section in the back of New York magazine always opens the same way: with a 4.4-by-6.875-inch illustration that lists five “can’t-miss” upcoming events. Each week, the magazine selects a different illustrator or designer to create the illo. The rules: It has to include the names of the events, the dates of the week and the words “High Priority”; and it can feature only red and black as colors. Design Observer has posted 64 of these illustrations, and they’re a pleasure to scroll through, with plenty of interesting typography.
