Concept

Hijinx World is a magazine for creatives, new-media artists, and self-proclaimed experimentalists. It features both emerging and established artists, with a focus on Canadian talent.

I am the founder and lead editor of the magazine. I collaborated with Henry Wilkinson on designing the layouts and text styles. I also created the front page and several article illustrations.
