Health editorial artwork by Alyah Holmes for AARP magazine

Clockwork Burn

Alyah Holmes delivers a time-tuned editorial illustration for AARP exploring when workouts work hardest.

Commissioned for the feature 'This is When to Exercise for a Fat-Burning, Belly Slimming Boost,' Alyah translates research into a striking visual metaphor. The concept places the body directly inside time itself, reinforcing the article’s focus on a specific two-hour window for maximum impact.

Designed as both a static editorial image and an animated GIF, the artwork brings energy to the digital format, guiding readers into the story.

Alyah’s bold colour palette and confident composition transform a data-led health topic into something immediate and memorable.
