Toronto Met University Mag 2025

The Winter 2025 issue of Toronto Metropolitan University Magazine includes startup founders sharing their secrets to success, the beneficial mental and physical effects of singing in a group, how AI tools are providing faster, more accurate diagnoses for diseases like breast cancer and Alzheimer’s, TMU’s sustainability initiatives, and much more.

For the cover feature we wanted to convey the rollercoaster ride of being an entrepreneur — the wins, losses, and the not so glamorous day-to-day grind. Through post-it notes we created a busy entrepreneur’s to-do list, with reminders and encouraging words that keep them going when things get hard.

Willamette Magazine, Spring 2024

The Spring 2024 edition of Willamette magazine tackles big topics — the intersections of forest management and climate change, AI and data science, sustenance fishing and industry, just to name a few — and showcases how the Willamette community is addressing these issues both within their region and in the wider world. The university’s alumni comprise a smart, educated, caring community representing a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and interests. So the team set out to create a sophisticated yet vibrant publication that engages and instills a sense of sense of achievement in its audience – a magazine you’d be proud to display on your coffee table.

We incorporated many of our favourite elements from consumer magazines, including world-class photography, unique illustrations, and contemporary typography. From Clayton Cotterell’s photograph of Andrews Forest wrapping around the cover to George Wylesol’s surreal illustrations sprinkled throughout the fiction piece, the magazine is an immersive treat that is as original, modern, and impactful as the university itself.

“The new magazine is truly amazing. To everyone involved, you did great work! I loved the professor, student, and alumni highlights, and the way those individuals’ stories were woven into larger narratives. It brought home what Willamette’s motto and mission look like in practice.”

— Janelle Bovell, Willamette Alumni

University of Toronto, Spring & Autumn 2023

We went into a lab, a food bank, and even in the water to capture our subjects for the Spring 2023 issue of University of Toronto Magazine. Photographer Luis Mora helped us bring the vision of sea and sky travel to our cover story, echoing a Rohingya student’s courageous journey to freedom. Illustrator George Wylesol tapped into our retro video game nostalgia with his signature style. Photographer Christopher Katsarov Luna documented what goes on behind the scenes of the food bank system.

In the Autumn 2023 issue, we explore the impact of electric vehicles, working with photo-illustrator TYCO to create impactful and sobering imagery of what happens when we take too much from our earth, present new technology being integrated into the theatre space with help from photographer Kate Dockeray and her gels and illustrate the fragmented feeling of addiction and navigating the process of recovery with Gracia Lam.
