Pigment Magazine
This project was done over the entire fall semester of my junior year at Cornish College of the Arts. The project itself consisted of three separate parts of magazine publication. Company branding, the magazine itself and the media kit for advertisers.
Branding
All ink elements in the letter head, envelope and business cards were made by hand and scanned into the digital format.

Although everything in this project was layout out and arranged by me, all articles and basically all photos were gathered from the internet, or scanned from books that I either own or got from the library. As this is a school project, and I make no profit what-so ever, it is legal for me to do so, but that does not mean I will not give credit where credit is due. For this purpose, and the purposes of education and inspiration I would like to share those resources with you. Please check them out if you are interested. Everyone and everything on this list is quite amazing and has inspired me in its' own way.
