Tomi Um's Illustrations Guide CONDENAST's COVID Office Protocols

Sep 2

As the world reopens its doors post-lockdown, it's crucial to implement stringent COVID-19 protocols to ensure the safety of staff and visitors. CONDENAST, the global media company behind iconic brands like Vogue, The New Yorker, and GQ, takes this responsibility seriously.

Commissioned by Herve Kwimo creative, Tomi Um, the talented illustrator, contributed her artistic skills to create a visual guide for these protocols. The illustrated guidelines, primarily designed for CONDENAST headquarters, are prominently featured in their offices in New York City's One World Trade Center and London's The Adelphi building. Moreover, these informative illustrations are shared through social media channels and staff newsletters.

Tomi Um's work brings clarity and understanding to the essential safety measures, making it easier for everyone to navigate the new normal.
