the new yorker, 3/28/11

There are few things as effortlessly full of joy and innocence as pink cherry blossom trees or Japanese sakura. Their symbolic use on the cover of the March 28th issue of The New Yorker is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking. A moving cover by Christoph Niemann.

A very strong piece of design linking the Japanese symbol for spring and the Radiation Hazard Symbol. A chilling combination.

A wonderfully relevant graphic design of an iconic Japanese beauty Pink Cherry Blossoms and the current Fukushima nuclear disaster.
