      “This issue of CFA magazine stands out for its excellent use of typography, photography, and illustration. The work is simply beautiful and it’s evident that the designer has a great understanding of how to use the grid to create a visually appealing publication. What’s even more impressive is that each section is distinct, but still feels cohesive and not disjointed from the whole experience. The restrained use of illustration adds a nice touch and enhances the overall design.”
