Jordan Awan is a classic double-threat visual creator. He is the art director of MIT Technology Review and a former art director of The New Yorker
who has had his design work recognized by the Society of Publication
Designers, Type Directors Club, and more. At the same time, Awan is an accomplished illustrator whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker,
and many other publications. He’s also done illustration for product
design, billboards, and T-shirts, as well as creating comics and
paintings. Awan’s work is smart, graphic, and modern. He describes his
dual roles by saying “both endeavors just seem like different parts of
the same mission to me.”
