Established in 1892, the Isis Magazine is the longest-running independent student magazine in the UK. I conceptualized and designed the front and back covers for the spring 2021 issue, themed “Treehouse” as a call back to childhood play and in honor of Oxford’s abundant natural beauty. I also created editorial illustrations, designed select interior layout pages, and compiled/edited the final design file for the magazine.
Additionally, as the social media director for the term, I made graphics and infographics for the Isis Magazine’s Instagram.
A scrolling infographic I illustrated and designed to accompany Sara Mashmi’s investigation into Oxford’s accomodation accessibility. 
Cover variations I pitched to the editors.For the front cover, I was inspired by the idea of a tree house composed of leaves and woods rather than a literal treehouse. I took a horticulture class at Wellesley in spring 2020 and this picture (left bottom) I took of these massive leaves stuck with me. I intially edited the image to create the frame of the treehouse, but then combined this silhouette with this leafy picture (right bottom) taken by Claire Ion. I also edited Claire’s photo into a texture for the background of the front cover.
Drawing from the final front cover we settled on (pictured at the top of the page), the editors and I decided we wanted to create a template of a house one could theoretically cut out and build in the spirit of childhood play. I illustrated the cutout template and applied the edited version of Claire’s photo from the front cover for the frame of the house. Then, I inserted this photo of Japanese trees by Toby Phillips into the interior of the house. I reused Claire’s photo again for the background.
