Report cover: The Evolution of the Salafi-Jihadist Threat

Cover for the CSIS report "The Evolution of the Salafi-Jihadist Threat." The New York Times featured it in their piece here: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/20/us/politics/terrorism-islamic-militants.html

I wanted a create a simple graphic that would illustrate the evolution and threat. The final graphic is a square evolving into a circle, which top-to-bottom also looks like an exclamation mark which symbolizes the urgency and threat.
