Magazine cover design is in the spotlight at The Tokyoiter exhibition, which is currently showing at Temu House in Petaling Jaya. It features a line-up of 25 artists, illustrators, animators and designs who have come up with an array of playful and interesting works paying tribute to Tokyo, a vibrant metropolis, a city of dreams and cultural hub.

This art project – supported by The Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur – draws inspiration from iconic The New Yorker magazine cover art and The Parisianer, a French tribute version of the magazine.
