NINTH LETTER VOL 11.1
Ninth Letter is an award winning literary journal that is produced using the combined efforts of the art and english departments at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Ninth Letter literary staff sift through submissions and choose a selection that is then sent to the design staff. I was on the staff as a designer for Volume 11.1, Spring 2014. Aside from collaborating to decide on themes/colors and producing artwork with visiting studios, my task was to design the staff photo page alongside Carolina Bolaño. We created various concepts and presented them to the art directors and eventually ended up with the page you see below. It fits the eclectic and often dark themes of the stories within Ninth Letter. Each designer has their own label that we designed. I art directed the photoshoot which took place in the Meat Lab on the University campus.
