Mind Trip (UC San Diego Magazine Feature)

Here's a sneak peek at the opener I designed for the latest issue of UC San Diego magazine, featuring the university's psychedelics research for treating chronic pain. I aimed for a fun, engaging aesthetic that stayed true to the UCSD brand. The low-resolution hero photo posed a layout challenge that I overcame with the application of a halftone/risograph effect, allowing me to enlarge it and lean into the retro look of the 60s/70s.
