Not Dead Yet

Editorial Design

SFSU 2017 

The original design challenge here was to design an editorial layout for the article 'Forcing Kids to Stick to Gender Roles Can Actually Be Harmful to To Their Health' by Tara Ressler. The 8 pages had to include an opening image, an infographic, and sidebar. I chose to illustrate the graphics for the article and go beyond the prompt by designing a magazine cover.

Why 'Not Dead Yet'?

It was first thought of as just a clever name for a printed magazine in order to play off the 'print is dead.' I also wanted to point out that along with print, Art, Literature, and Culture are not dead in this digital age. Finally, I wanted to make a connection from Not Dead Yet to whatever the issue is about. In this case, it reads as Not Dead Yet: Gender Norms. Other issues may be Not Dead Yet: Activism and Protest; Not Dead Yet: Rock n' Roll. This also my reason for using a blackletter font because it is similarly yet to go out of style.
