Expression Magazine was developed by my friend Amanda Eichner which consists of features on art-ists, models, and musicians. I currently am a part time designer and typographer for the magazine, which is now up to four issues. I have taken the lay-outs from some of the features that I had designed along with some brief information on each.

In this case it was struggling musicians.
