As always, this latest roundup of the most-discussed projects from SVA Portfolios makes for a collection of inspiring and impressive art and design. This edition, comprising the top posts for April 2024, includes a strange and surreal zine, a type-design project that riffs on one of SVA’s most famous subway poster taglines, and a project made for an SVA Continuing Education course that references the 1960s cartoon The Jetsons.

An illustration for the cover of a zine titled "Poo is kewl: A tribute to the poo we encounter in our lives" The illustration is psychedelic and depicts a man with bright lights coming out of his eyes, and yellow fog going into his nose and ears.
