But not at TNW.

Here, were all about DIY article images.

We forced an actual designer to review our writers’ DIY article images

And sometimes guess what the hell the articles about.

Specifically, we got in animator, photographer, games designer, and all round good guy James Wragg.

it’s possible for you to check outhis work here, andgive him a follow on Twitter here.

Without further ado, lets find out what he had to say!

This beautiful bit of design is from a piece entitled We analyzed Pablo Escobars brothers folding phone promo video.

This is what Wragg had to say:

Okay, so…

I have a lot of questions.

Are the models with the authors faces imposters?

Are they wearing masks?

Article image

Is this some sort of twisted Greek theater performance?

No, no, probably not.

This image is like a vision of hell from Hieronymus Bosch; to study it is to become lost.

Im gonna put that down as a positive review.

You cant stop me.

No, I dont know what that means either, but such is life.

Well, fuck you too, James.

What can I say?

Cant disagree with that.

This gem is from our piece where we told peoplehow to watch Googles latest Pixel event.

Thats called a public service, suckers.

I also commend the choice of background image.

Ive used the same Pixabay retro television in, like, six different commissions.

But this one is brand fucking new.

Ive never seen it before.

For that alone, this is a five-star picture.

Im starting to feel our DIY article images are actually good now.

Can you guess what article this is from?

Immediately our curiosity is piqued; why does this caveman have a sex toy?

Why is he running from a mother and a creepy old dude?

Has he, daresay, just used the item?

Or is this a post-apocalyptic scene, of human descendants using our titillating technological detritus as weapons of warfare?

Whatever the answer is, I know Ill like it.

Is TNWs feature image style for everyone?
