Neither Morningstar nor its content Emiliano Ponzi One of the big challenges for Morningstar Advisor illustrators is taking complex investing ideas and creating images that evoke the theme without taking it too literally. This issue’s cover took illustrator Emiliano Ponzi in an “X-Files” direction. “I linked two items conceptually distant from each other: an ordinary man walking his dog in a suburban neighborhood and a flying saucer,” Ponzi says. “The contact between something very familiar and something improbable, unproven, and fascinating creates a unique visual friction.” The Milan-based illustrator’s clients include The New York Times, Le Monde, Atlantic Monthly, and Penguin Books. He’s received numerous honors, including the Art Directors Club’s prestigious Young Guns award and medals of honor from the Society of Illustrators (New York and Los Angeles). providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.
