Paperbark Magazine
Paperbark Literary Magazine was brought back to life in the Fall of 2021 by a group of motivated graduate students at UMass Amherst. Looking to have more control over the design than in previous issues, the editorial board decided to hire a small team of three undergraduate design students to jumpstart their vision: Paolo Brandon, Mikaela Bowler, and me.
With a very small time frame of about 2 months, our team launched an entirely new look for the magazine; fresh fonts, bright popping colors, compelling ecologically-based logos, and the decision to print in a smaller size. We finally completed the 100-page layout by December of that year, just 10 weeks after our first team meeting.
Below are samples of the spreads that I worked on:
