This is the tenth and final edition of Positive Negative Magazine, a magazine published by RIT design and photography students. I was honored to serve as one of the Art Directors for the magazine. I composed three original articles, working with RIT design students, to create imagery that supported abstract concepts surrounded by the idea of Humanism.

This magazine won a local Silver Addy Award, and a regional Gold Addy Award: a huge accomplishment for all the designers and photographers who contributed.

As one of the Art Directors, we were the executives of the magazine. We created the overall vision for this unique volume, coordinated staff meetings, critiqued photographers' and designers' work, led fundraising, and kept the magazine on schedule for a successful release.

Our mission statement:

Humanism is the school of thought that people share different experiences and beliefs surrounding various controversial topics in our society. The tenth edition of Positive/Negative aims to show how we, as humans, emerge and develop our needs and interests to relate to the people who surround us.

Philosophical and ethical understanding of human values serves as a basis of humanism; it is seen as a way to determine the significance between value and reason of how we experience and live our lives. It is based on human choice, and what we constitute as right versus wrong.

From our negative habits to our positive beliefs, we explore relationships between human needs and seeking ways of solving human problems. Our stories cannot be represented by one single motif or defined by one single thought. We are fluid, unique, and individual.

Thank you!
