U of T’s Spring 2024 issue features a 13-page feature package on AI: how it’s dramatically changing everything from medicine to music and what that means for the future. Illustrators Seba Cestaro and Risto Avramovski helped us bring these abstract concepts to life through vibrant colour.
We took advantage of the magazine’s digital presence to create an animated cover. We wanted to convey how AI has seemingly infiltrated so many aspects of life through a typographic approach. It also gave us the opportunity to experiment with Cavalry, a powerful 2D animation software.
This issue also covers ways Toronto can introduce more sustainable building methods, ableism in our health care system, a professor’s love for comics as a teaching tool, and much more.
The Autumn 2024 issue of U of T Magazine highlights how U of T students and faculty are working with peers and community partners around the globe to address some of the world’s most pressing issues. Bright colours and bold design elements, with illustrations by Kyle Ellingson and portraits by Duane Cole, combine to give this package an uplifting, hopeful feel — reflecting the progress of the work being done.
U of T Magazine Winter 2024 is all digital. The issue’s ‘feel-good’ theme coincided with the start of the new year and a time of resolutions. It includes stories on inspiring students bringing about change, the science behind the Mediterranean diet, a uniquely modern way to quit smoking, a prof’s insights on living a longer and healthier life, and more.
Working in a digital-only space allows us to think differently when approaching our commissions. Illustrator Rose Wong animated our spot illustrations to bring some playful energy to the page.
