About

F Newsmagazine is a journal of arts, culture, and politics, run by students at SAIC. F News produces 6-8 print issues every academic year, and the web edition is updated all year. As part of the design team, I worked on a variety of illustrations and page layouts that complement the  article, considering themes, content, and style. (And I still don’t know what the ‘F’ stands for. Friends? Facts? Fabulous?)

deliverables

I contributed to 12 print issues + additional web illustrations, and design for the F Newsletter. Select pages and spreads I designed/illustrated are included here, and more can be viewed on F Newsmagazine’s website.
