New York's High Priority

0513ToddStJohn.jpg

Michael Bierut of Design Observer has collected all of the High Priority illustrations for New York magazine that describe what is going on that week. He describes it as:

Every week, the editors of New York magazine identify five upcoming "can't miss" activities in the magazine's back-of-the-book listings section. And every week, New York's design director, Luke Hayman, and art director, Chris Dixon, select a designer to create "High Priority," a typographic illustration using these five selections.
The rules are simple. The illustration is 4.4 inches high by 6.875 inches wide; it has to include the five events, the dates of the week, and the words "High Priority;" and it can only use two colors, red and black.
