Berliner Zeitung - Magazine Cover Illustration

Germany's Economy Captured

The Berliner Zeitung commissioned Studio Duco to create a conceptual illustration for their weekend magazine cover.

With just a two-day turnaround over the New Year, the striking artwork was delivered to encapsulate Germany's economic future.

The illustration, which takes centre stage on the cover, visualises the strategic tension between global powers - China, the USA, and Russia - vying for influence.

The piece combines dynamic chess symbolism with bold artistic elements, underscoring the high-stakes nature of this geopolitical and economic rivalry.
