Magazine Layout @ Pier To: Collective

Professional Work

Founded by students in New York City, Pier To: is a multimedia cultural collective that explores the human story through the lens of curiosity, reflection, and growth. Through invitations and interviews, I helped with formatting and designing the first physical copy of the selected works. Working with the Creative team through Zoom, we carefully chose works that would compliment or tell a similar story as the submitted art included poetry, paintings, digital design, photographs, writing, etc. Collaborative digital work involved constant feedbacks and revisions, similar to the style of an architectural studio course at school. I was able to discover a new hobby with digital design, understanding the artist’s intentions before acknowledging and bringing in my personal curation for the pieces.

The artist above shows the submitted pieces in photograph form; I chose to use the similar scrapbook style to mimic the message presented through the artist’s understanding of their piece.

Reorganizing the given painting and poetry with the exaggerating Illustrator designed title and including the detail of the art piece on the right draw attention to how the artist expressed their feelings - seen in both the painting and the poem.
