About

This vertical magazine cover illustration features a dynamic rooftop scene where four distinct figures interact near a boxing ring, set against a dark starry sky. Below the rooftop, a cafe named Linda's Cafe with a red and white striped awning is visible alongside street-level storefronts. The artwork employs a stylized graphic aesthetic with bold lines and a rich palette of deep greens, reds, and neutral tones. Prominent typography across the cover includes the title Step Journal and the headline Rolling with the punches. The composition is structured as an elevated perspective looking down on the urban street corner scene.
