project details ─

The Point is a Biola University campus magazine for students, produced by students. The Point exists to enrich Biola's campus by diving deeply into people's stories and exploring issues at the intersection of student life and faith. Each issue of The Point builds on a growing campus legacy that has, from the beginning, involved breaking molds and exceeding expectations. The Point has gained a reputation for being unafraid to tackle any topic and for bringing a unique perspective to campus conversations, as we aim for a truthful, thought-provoking and artful publication.

The theme for the Fall 2017 issue was seeking peace amidst conflict, especially with society seeming to be more polarized than ever before. The stories present in this issue intend to be a breeze of fresh air that bring us back to what it means to be human through stories that contemplate the human experience. From a celebration of culture and people's lives to a consideration of a human rights issue and ethical decisions, the magazine seeks to remind people of their humanness, in its joys and pains, and the beauty of life.

In this issue, I directly worked in one story team for the article on biblical hospitality. This article focused on how Jesus' hospitality informs our own. Our vision, design-wise, was to focus on the warmth of hospitality. In doing so, I got to work with the pink, orange, and yellow of this edition's pastel rainbow palette, while enhancing the photos to match the specific look we were trying to achieve. You can find the following semester's issue here, which had a complementary palette to this one!
