For a typography class, we were to present submissions of our own designs for our school's yearly Student Arts Magazine.

The Design Process

We were given information about that year's theme and worked to create a concept that we felt was the best fit. I chose the design of a butterfly to represent a person's creativity slowly being released to reveal something new and beautiful - similar to the reveal one gets when beholding the end result of its metamorphosis.

The Production

Materials Used:

  • 5.5 x 8.5 Straphmore Sketch Paper

  • Pentel 0.7 Pencil

  • Permanent Green Olive 167, Dark Chrome Yellow 109, Pink Carmine 127, Purple Violet 136, Medium Weight Black 199 Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pens and a Dark Umber PB-61 Prismacolor Premier marker

  • Adobe InDesign

Each page of the booklet was hand-drawn with its illustration and headers, scanned, and then placed into InDesign where text and formatting was finalized.
