A college project written, designed and coded independently. Web design with HTML/CSS, magazine design with Adobe InDesign, illustrations with Adobe Fresco/Apple Pencil
I wrote this story and did this project in college shortly after I, as a queer Gen Zer, downloaded TikTok at the start of the pandemic and began to better understand my own identity through the interaction and consumption of my peers' experiences. I wrote and designed this piece as part of a class magazine and online website for a Design for Storytelling class taught by former Boston Globe design editor Dan Zedek.
I wanted the illustration and design to feel bright and welcoming. The typefaces used both in the magazine and website were preset by the class to help the collective of pieces feel cohesive, and I used a set grid system to lay out both designs.
But the story also called for disruptions of the grid, too. The magazine spreads were designed with Adobe InDesign, and the illustrations I drew by-hand on Adobe Fresco with an Apple Pencil, then translated into Photoshop. The webpage was coded using HTML and CSS.
