Arete Student Academic Journal- Book Design

This year I had the honor of being junior designer for Arete, the student academic journal on Campus. The senior designer and I wanted this year's journal to break conventions. We wanted to keep the sophistication and professionalism that Arete has always had, while being a bit more playful and spontaneous. That's why we chose a pink cover; to bring a little spontaneity to the academic world. 

The other guiding design element was paper. Having been published over 20 years, we thought paper was a perfect call to the physical material it would be printed on. The cover typography was created physically using photos of printed 3-D text. The chapter elements are drawn origami.
