Cornerstone is a Christian Literary Arts magazine at Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design.
As Creative Head and Art Director of Cornerstone Magazine, I managed a team of illustrators, designers, and photographers in communication with the editorial team to create the Spring 2024 Issue, Mysterium Fidae. Unique to this issue was a focus on the mystery of faith. Along those lines, I led our art direction to focus on a visual narrative that matched that. Specific to the theme was the color scheme of purple and gold. Also key was a juxtaposition between dark and light. Alongside art direction, I also did general graphic design and layout design for the entire issue. Pictured below are a few choice spreads from the issue. Illustrators, and Photographers are credited below.
