Challenging sexism, workplace stress and mindfulness through illustration

Date
1 February 2016

Barcelona-born illustrator Magoz’s work distils often complex ideas into their simplest forms, using bright colours and bold shapes to convey information in a single image. Now based in Madrid, his client list includes The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and AdWeek among many others, and the updates to his site since our last visit shows his practise going from strength to strength. While his still images are superb in their minimalism, it’s great to see them animated, such as in a spot illustrating “helping others to reach their goals.” The protagonist reminds us of David Byrne in Stop Making Sense, which is only ever a very good thing indeed.
