COVER DESIGN BY ME FOR THE 2024 VOLUME 16 OF THE PEEL REVIEW
It started Sophmore year of college. I saw a poster advertising for a visual editor. I applied and during the interview the editor told me I would be much better suited for the creative director, responsible for the entire design layout of the yearly magazine as well as the general image of The Peel.
After accepting, I quickly realized the scope of this project and recruited a design team of two other graphic designers in my BFA program (Mason McCaffety and Eamon O'Maille) to collaborate with layout decisions. Design is not an individual task, especially when you are responsible for the publication of many artists.
