Iconic illustrations full of coastal character

Bringing the magazine to life with bold, colourful illustrations

Each year, global affairs and lifestyle magazine Monocle releases a summer newspaper - Monocle Mediterraneo. For issue seven, Cape Town-based creative studio MUTI crafted the title’s illustrations.

"The brief was to create illustrations that accompanied a selection of essays in the publication," explains MUTI co-founder Clint Campbell. "They all deal with various topics relating to the ocean and coastlines around the world."

The five-strong studio, which specialises in illustration, typography and design, created an understated visual language perfectly befitting of the high-end publication. "The overall aesthetic could be described as 'simple, fun and iconic," Campbell concludes, "with a sense of tactile character."
