Illustrated New Yorker cover showing a busy playground scene. Two women, apparently caregivers, watch children playing: one stands holding a pink scooter while another sits on a bench with a toddler on her lap and holds up a phone showing a man on a video call. Children play on playground equipment around them, surrounded by lush green trees. The cover is dated 9 September 2024 and illustrated by Kikuo Johnson.

A bold graphic poster with a vivid red background. Near the top are two stylised black-and-white eyes with vertical slit pupils. Inside each pupil is the silhouette of a standing person, creating the impression that the eyes are watching human figures. Below, the title reads "SOUND THE GAZA ALARM" in large, irregular black and white lettering, with "GAZA" prominently enlarged in white. The minimalist design uses strong contrast and symbolism to evoke urgency and draw attention to Gaza.
