The concept that inspired the design of the magazine was “interference.” This inspired the methods that I used such as incorporating a glitch effect, fragmenting images, and repeating text. I wanted the magazine to feel a little unsettling, so I used “human” imagery like eyes but in a very stiff, robotic way.
