ES Magazine, the weekly lifestyle and culture magazine from the Evening Standard, recently released its very first NFT magazine cover art. The dynamic digital magazine is an immersive work of art that captures movement in three dimensions and it was recently revealed at a London Fashion Week party. To see the cover come to life, viewers are invited to scan a QR code.
The cover was designed to amplify BIPOC, non-binary voices across the music, art and fashion, and it the non-fungible token art features the face of LGBTQ+ poet and model Kai-Isaiah Jamal.
The NFT cover art will be showcased at the Annka Kultys Gallery until it is auctioned off and proceeds from the sale of the piece will go towards supporting The Felix Project.
