The Literary Review

Layout Design

The Literary Review is an entirely student run publication for Colorado Mesa University, and consists of a variety of written and artist submissions from students. As the Art Director of the publication, I designed the entire 2022 edition, and handled style, layout, typography, and the cover illustration while managing other artists for the inside artwork.

Design Decisions

The 2022 edition art style was a combination of scratch board and dip pen artwork, making the entire publication black and white, with the exception of a gold foil leaf on the cover. Over a dozen artists and writers each are featured in this publication.
