Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

The Guardian's 2024 election coverage features handmade paper-cutting artwork by its editorial design team to counter AI generative imagery and fake news. The artwork, inspired by the concept of 'Broken Britain', projects honesty. A rotating team of three to four designers, adhering to strict parameters and using a mini style guide, produces three to four artworks daily, highlighting the human aspect with a mix of black-and-white and color imagery.
