Art’s and Literary Magazine

With a new mission in mind, we got to work to create print and digital content that would reflect the new branding and positioning.

"Captured" Interview Series

The deep, rich culture that black folk have is often lost in the way they are framed. More often than not, the black image has been equated to a mugshot and is the default view cast upon us.

CAPTURED is a statement piece on this loss of culture that utilizes the mug shot in order to reveal personal culture and traits.
