DAILY MIRROR NEXT GEN ISSUE DESIGN PROJECT Level 3 Graphic Design and Illustration student Kienan Greene has had the incredible opportunity to do some design work for the Daily Mirror’s latest project ‘NextGen’ – a special edition of the newspaper putting the issues British teenagers care about at the heart of national conversation. Kienan has designed the new masthead which is featured on the front page of the national newspaper.

Kienan tells the Daily Mirror “I wanted to capture what newspapers are all about and give a voice to the younger people really focusing in on modern day problems and modern day trends which I believe I captured through the free hand typographic illustration I used. I am very pleased I was able to grasp this fantastic opportunity and I can only wish for many more to come.”
