ISSUE 008 IDENTITY

While developing the theme for issue 008, Time, we were inspired by current events, the natural world, and books on space. I developed the visual identity around these ideas by incorporating elements such as displacement maps which are derived from time based media, the type face Redaction, as an allusion to decay, and circles, referencing the cyclal nature of time.

PRINT PACKAGE

The print package includes the 150+ page magazine, six tarot cards, a risograph calendar/poster, and a TITLE logo sticker.

ISSUE PAGES

Designers: Lydia Masset + Ellen Stevenot
Ellen and I collaborated to design the end pages, letter from the editor pages, the table of contents, and the exec directory.

TAROT CARDS

Tarot cards have been used for centuries to predict the future, making them perfect for issue 008’s exploration of Time. Each print package came with six unique cards that featured our take on modern Tarot.

Can We Go to the Place Outside of Time?

Photographer + Lead: Lydia Masset Layout: Ian Gunn

This project is about the role technology plays in shaping our memories and how the memories themselves become disconnected from reality and time. I took the photos for this project at Coney Island (NYC) in the winter creating a cold, nostalgic feeling. We then combined these photos with screenshots of old text messages as a way of reinterpreting our memories and the times they took place.
