The Lumen is Mercyhurst University’s Creative Arts Magazine. This magazine is produced by students and showcases talent that include poems, prose, artwork, music, and dances. I had the opportunity to be one of the designers for the 2022, 24th edition, of the Lumen.

As a designer, I was in charge of creating the overall theme and idea for the magazine, as well as the layout for every page. My idea was based on a particular definition of the word Lumen, which was “the measure of brightness from a light source.” Because of this, the cover includes light bulbs, along with the majority of the pages. Pictured above is the header used on Mercyhurst's website and pictured to the left is the cover.

Being a part of the Lumen team has taught me so much about printing, editing, designing, and publishing. I am so proud of the final product and it is awesome to see the design team's hard work being published and shared with the University.
