Kolob Canyon Review

Kolob Canyon Review is an annual literary journal of Southern Utah University. In 2021, I returned for my second year on the KCR design team for the creation of the 29th volume. Working with a team of 15 designers was an incredible experience. Through collaboration, we selected a color scheme, fonts, and an overall design direction which led us to use heavy texture and gradients throughout the book. A few of my personal highlights were designing the cover and paragraph breaks (because all things big or small are important!!). The previous year, I had come up with the idea of incorporating a topo map from the local Kolob Canyon section of Zion National Park as a design element on the spine. This element would later become a unifying feature, connecting the spines of all future volumes.
