See this beautiful illustration? This is how we make them

We have an all-star team of designers at TNW, working hard to make sure our website always looks exceptionally fresh.

One of our recent additions to the team is Ashley Evans, and even without knowing it you have definitely come across his work already. He has single-handedly produced some of the amazing illustrations you run across as header images in our articles.

Where other websites often rely on stock imagery, we think great-looking custom images really adds to our content.  That’s why we use them for all kinds of articles, like posts about different fields in tech or industry-defining companies like Google:

The latest rumblings from the EU tech scene, a story from our wise ol' founder Boris, and some questionable AI art. It's free, every week, in your inbox. Sign up now!
