Dixi workshop with Alexandra Zsigmond

The Art of the Spot

In October 2024, we participated in a workshop with Alexandra from The New York Times about spot illustration. During the workshop, we had the opportunity to engage in discussions and listen to contributions from The New York Times directors and team members. The workshop focused on developing a series of spot illustrations for The New York Times.

Our main goal and task are to create a series of illustrations for a measuring station in Mainz that currently lacks visibility and appeal to the public. The workshop provided us with valuable insights on how to brainstorm ideas, along with tips and tricks for creating impactful spot illustrations. Alexandra showcased numerous examples to help us understand how illustrators collaborate with art directors and other professionals at The New York Times to produce these visuals effectively.
