In previous years, CA’s money-themed
specials have featured visual metaphors
galore, including a scratchcard-style ‘salary
survey’ in 2014, and a slightly more inyour-
face giant gold coin, featuring a fist
clutching a wad of bank notes, in 2015.
This issue, following a turbulent year
of Brexit and Trump-related uncertainty
in global markets, we decided to draw
financial inspiration from the peaks
and troughs of the stock exchange.
Designed in-house by CA’s art editor
Jo Gulliver, this issue’s cover references
the information boards on the trading
floor, packed with data about the latest
rises and falls on the market – while the
matrix of LED-style dots that make up
the main headline have been embossed
by our friends at Celloglas.
Watch the emboss being applied at Celloglas
in our latest making-of video – plus many
of our other special covers being finished –
