State of Mind Magazine & Workbook 2020 Issue
Creative Direction • Layout & Design
State of Mind is Ryerson Students' Union first ever mental health magazine. The mandate of the magazine is to empower students through storytelling, and to explore the ways in which we are united on our wellness journeys. Every part of State of Mind allows students to explore their relationships with mental health and wellness through stories, imagery, and a wellness workbook.
Brief
SHIFT, one of the equity groups under Ryerson Students’ Union that focuses on equity and wellness, wanted to create a magazine/workbook that highlights Ryerson students’ mental health experiences through curated written and photographic submissions.
Goal
• Create a design that was “breathable” and calming
• Create a light environment to combat the heavy content about mental health that filled the magazine
Programs Use
Adobe Illustrator • Adobe InDesign
