Event, Individual Piece
Agency – American Geophysical Union (AGU)
Client – American Geophysical Union
Eos, AGU's member magazine, covers news and perspectives about Earth and space sciences. December 2019 was the culmination of our year-long Centennial and our annual Fall Meeting, attended by 30,000 scientists.
Eos’s December issue featured 10 unique covers that, when placed together create a full illustration. The illustration featured iconography of each field Eos covered during the Centennial year, drawn together as a “100.” In addition to the 10 unique covers, the illustration was included as a poster tipped into each issue, and as displays at the conference.
The motivations behind this decision were to give our members a collectible piece at the culmination of the Centennial year, but also have the illustration be inclusive enough they could see themselves (or their science) represented. The biggest challenge for the project was ensuring the illustration could successfully stand on its own and once divided into 10 individual covers.
