RHETORIC MAGAZINE
The Rhetoric is a magazine revolving around the issues pertaining to a theme in each edition and explore the unseen causes behind it. Through our stories, we hope to understand the Greek philosopher, Aristotle's genius treatise and pursue it in an effective manner to exploit the common societal practices and norms. By definition, rhetoric is the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the exploitation of figures of speech and other composition techniques.
Therefore, we aim to build rhetoric on the matters that surround us and demand our attention.

ROLE IN THE TEAM - GRAPHIC DESIGNER
As a graphic designer of the team, I made two consecutive month's cover image for the magazine. One for the monsoon edition and second for the travel edition.
Monsoon Edition
The background in the cover is a real clicked image of the glass while raining used as a background. To keep it minimal I thought to try out an umbrella poly art which turned out to look great complimenting the background color blue. The ideas were to emote a lot of colors to show how much we enjoy rains and how lively one feels during this season.
Typography- The fonts used to write the names of the articles are of the same family, however different from each other in terms of style and size.
TRAVEL EDITION
The idea behind this cover was to encapsulate every small thing related to travel from a stamp, passport, Eiffel tower, signboards, camera, hotel, luggage, map and every little doodle that gives a feel of traveling. I wanted to give it a doodle, quirky look as its eye-catching and not too loud on the eyes. Considering the magazine is for college students the look of scribbling, doodling is relate-able.After trying options for pastel color, green struck to me as it's pleasant and gives a feeling of nature and freshness.
