Ladies of a Certain Age
description
The main job of advertisement in media is to convince women that their value entirely depends on their looks, and that aging is the worst thing that could happen to their appearance. Many women’s magazines are problematic in this way; there is an imbalance of priority with far too much emphasis on appearance, and not enough on stories and experience.
Ladies of a Certain Age is a quarterly publication that aims to bridge dialogue between women of all walks and ages. Through shared stories of real experience, we want to provide a type of media that is not focused on unrealistic ideals of female beauty. Rather, we want to be a hub where women from all ages can celebrate their thoughts, opinions, and stories.

I was asked to design a magazine spread for the article Concerning the Spiritual in Indie Rock. After familiarizing myself with its content, I decided it would be more creative, interesting, and appropriate to design a traditional scroll. Both the illustrations and background image/texture is custom made. This was a great lesson in designing for the content.

This project aims to celebrate and take a look beyond the beautiful imagery of the social media site Pinterest, and give the Photographers and Artists creating the featured imagery some attention.There has been a lot of discussion surrounding the grey area of posting other peoples intellectual property on Pinterest without giving proper credit. Even though one of the main aspects of Pinterest is the ability to go to the original source of the media, Pinterest users or “Pinners” rarely check the links connected to the images they see in their news feed.

Current 03 is the third edition of Emily Carr University of Art + Design’s Current Design Research Journal. It is a multi platform design journal that showcases creative, practice-based and applied research. For this 52 page publication, I worked along side a team of 12 designers. My role as a photgrapher was to create photographs to be used for the print and interactive publication and as a print designer was to produce conceptual spreads/layouts.
