Platform is a fashion and culture magazine and voice for artists based at NC State University.

Over 10 weeks, we crafted the visual direction of Volume XVIII while overseeing our team of seven designers, who worked to create the layouts for 12 articles and 4 photo shoots.

The cover shoot, "Jaded," shows the burnout and feelings of jade that come with the constant flow of media through our phones.


We used neon green and squares to push the screens onto the paper. Bright and pixel-like, the cover shoot spreads feel like a digital archive of real feelings.

We designed the supporting visuals for the Volume XVIII Launch Party, themed "Art Rave." We created a collage of our favorite shots that didn't make it in the final publication.
