Project Overview As the Editor-In-Chief of Zeromile magazine, I was tasked with the development and assertion of the theme of the 12th issue of the publication. After much thought, the theme of Presence was chosen in order to maintain congruency with previous issues, while still allowing the staff the creative freedom to pursue content that interested them. After asserting the theme, I worked directly with the Creative Director to generate and ensure a visual aesthetic that properly delivers the context of each article. Ultimatley, breaking down presence into a dichotomy of noise and clarity became the basis of the design of each piece, depending on the nature and purpose of the article. The article I wrote and designed, "Make Sense with Your Dollar", is a piece about combating gentrification with your spending power, and therefore took on the connotation of noise. Additional examples shown created and written by: Eleeza Palmer, Amy Yang and Likun Song.
