The Vernacular is Russell Sage’s annual publication of student art and writing. Acting as the art director for the 52nd edition, I worked with my team to design the layout and look of the publication through organizing and leading team meetings and corresponding with the publisher to facilitate the production and distribution of the book. The book was designed around the theme of escapism. Looking through the pages provides a way for people to escape into the minds of the artists and writers featured within. The 52nd edition also features something new, a page of stickers designed by students.
