Overview: Liminal Magazine is an editorial publication exploring the strange, mysterious, and unexplained. Blending features, interviews, and reader stories, it approaches paranormal and occult themes with curiosity rather than certainty, inviting readers to sit in the unknown.

Challenge: Topics like the paranormal, consciousness, and the unknown are often presented in ways that feel sensationalized or dismissive, leaving little space for thoughtful, visually cohesive storytelling. With few strong editorial precedents to reference, the challenge was determining how to create a magazine that treated these subjects with both curiosity and credibility.

Solution: The end result was a magazine serious enough to earn the subject matter, and strange enough to actually live in it. The layouts are structured and sophisticated, with experimentation and whimsy showing up in the illustration and imagery. I wanted the design to hold the tension of the material rather than resolve it: not trying to prove anything, just making space for the reader to sit with it. The final piece was printed and bound.
