Ups and Downs

The December 26, 2022, cover of The New Yorker celebrates the magazine’s Puzzles Issue with a striking isometric illustration. This surreal cityscape blends elements of New York City—featuring the Empire State Building, office cubicles, and abstract urban scenes—with visual nods to classic puzzles, including crossword grids, Sudoku-style patterns, and mazes. A giant hand holding a pencil looms over the intricate world, reinforcing the theme of problem-solving and creativity. The dynamic, geometric composition combines architecture, logic games, and artistic storytelling in a visually engaging design.
