Internship:
Study Breaks Magazine
Study Breaks is an online magazine written and illustrated by college students across the country about trending media, emerging artists and contemporary culture. The magazine provides insight into the cultural milieu from the perspective of Gen Z.
As an illustrator at Study Breaks, I aimed to uplift the writers' voices through visuals. I found it important to accurately represent the writers' concepts and find ways to present their ideas symbolically and beyond the obvious.
Below are some of my favorite illustrations I created during the internship.
