The Maryland Institute College of Art or “MICA,” located in Baltimore is one of the oldest and most prestigious art schools in the country. When approached to help unite their 19 graduate programs through shared content, we developed and designed a semi-annual magazine to connect students, allowing them to share ideas, news and art. The new magazine was titled Commotion. The name comes from the belief that artists and designers create through exploration and investigation, taking inspiration from vast and varied sources, the process can be chaotic, noisy and confusing, but always rewarding. Designed to take readers through the creative journey, we created visually exciting and compelling layouts, with bright pops of color, dynamic typography and custom illustration. We are currently developing the second issue.
