Emerge Print Magazine
The Emerge Print Magazine is a project created by fourth-year University of Guelph-Humber Media Studies students to showcase student work and house the program for the annual Emerge Media Awards. As an Art Director for the magazine, my job was to create and implement a cover design and several page designs that complimented the page's content while adhering to the magazine's visual theme of "professional sketchbook." 
TOOLS USED: InDesign, Illustrator, Procreate, Adobe Draw
