SOFT PUNK MAGAZINE
BRAND IDENTITY, ART DIRECTION, EDITORIAL DESIGN, ILLUSTRATION, TYPOGRAPHY
Soft Punk was a literary arts and culture magazine based in London that printed 6 issues from 2019 to 2021. Our reporting was fair, our fiction vulnerable, and our criticism unwavering. We curated emotive, insightful, and occasionally brazen visual features, with generous space reserved for poetry and art of all mediums.
I served as Art Director and Arts Editor for the first four of those issues.

MERCH
For our merchandise drops, I wanted to pay homage to the magazine’s constant desire to blend “high” and “low” culture. Here, a handmade tote bag gets the iconic happy-face, have-a-nice-day, bodega plastic bag treatment. On wearable garments by Philly-based Paratodo Co., I reworked our balloon and safety pin motifs.
