Positive Negative Magazine

This is the 10th and final edition of Positive Negative Magazine. My role in this publication was a Production Editor, Designer, and Writer. I composed 3 original articles and worked with several photographers to art direct conceptual photoshoots to support my abstract articles. I focused on the theory of humanism through lenses of selfishness, panic, and euthanasia.

I worked with the entire staff to coordinate file consistency and output standards. I also was the main liaison with the printer and bindery for finishing processes. The publication is 8in x 10in and includes accenting dimensional clear spot glosses to emphasize small details and illustrations throughout the magazine.

The magazine won Silver & Gold ADDYs, in 2018, in the student divisions.

I wrote an article focused on euthanasia and how that affects families as a whole. Originally focused on my own great-grandfather, and then looking at a family based in Europe, I wanted to visually explore the remnants left behind by people who leave on their own terms.

When evaluating the mental effort it takes to plan anything, to intentionally act good - a spiral into moral crisis often occurs for the unprepared.

I explored the idea that selfishness can be a positive force for ourselves
