Creator Mag, “TOUCH GRASS”


Art direction, editorial design and direction, illustrations, social posts, merchandise, and event hosting for Creator Mag’s seventh issue, themed“TOUCH GRASS” starring streamer and conservationalist Maya Higa and the incredible work of Alveus Sanctuary.
An issue about the internet, connecting with the real world, taking breathers, and caring about the ground beneath our feet and the creatures that inhabit it. It’s about how the digital world is affecting a very tangible everyday—“the Internet is becoming real life.” Stories and designs are interrupted by digital elements; it’s why the humble Minion Pro type is sprinkled with instances of Pixelbasel.

Welcome to our biggest issue yet—so big that our magazine now has a literal spine! Plus, our mascot, Stormy, got his own grassy variants and merch too.
