Readers of the American paper newspaper New York Times were surprised to come across an unusual and particularly explicit layout on the coronavirus. Andrew Sondern, illustrator and art director of the New York daily newspaper, said he was surprised to find a layout that was unusual and particularly explicit about the coronavirus "amused" - in his own words - with the layout of an article on social distancing to be adopted in this period of coronavirus epidemic.
Published on March 17, 2020, the text entitled "Wondering about social distancing" answers the questions of American citizens on best practices to stem the tide of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The layout shows four figures scattered throughout the full page and the text wisely arranged in columns surrounds these figures, which thus find themselves isolated from each other.
This model is a perfect illustration of what it means to maintain a distance between each person in order to prevent the spread of the contagious Covid-19 disease. This creativity will no doubt have caught the reader's eye and missed the point.
