Idiom & Image
Client: Sussex County Community College | Role: Art Director & Designer | Designer: Xavier Markowycz
The Project
My local community college needed an Art Director/Designer to create their annual literary magazine, the Idiom & Image. This magazine is a publication dedicated to highlighting student work across fine arts; including art, photography, poetry, and prose. My role was to curate the work, design the magazine, and work with a student to design the new logo for the issue.
The Outcome
The final magazine is focused around the theme of "Community.” I curated work that explores the relationships and connections we have with family, society, time, food, nature, and ourselves. To visually communicate this theme I created a family of icons that expresses the different creative works; art, photography, poetry, and prose. These graphics acknowledge that each piece of this magazine is unique, but all are connected to the “creative community” of the magazine itself.
