agenda. // A Political Magazine
All political commentary comes with an agenda, and
this publication is no exception. This left-leaning political
magazine focuses on a different issue in each edition, with this particular one focusing on Latin American immigration to the USA. Red is utilized to emphasize the sense of urgency felt by various parties throughout this journey.
The image for the table of contents was curated to bring a sense of intimacy and tenderness into this chaotic journey. Often, immigrants
bring very little with them, usually only as much as they can carry
and whatever aids with survival. These items are significant and
nurture the body and soul through memories of their past and
hopes of the future. Here, nourishment comes through their
snacks, but it also appears through items of faith to carry
them through, and a bit of spare change for when they arrive.
The pages have elements of burned or crumpled paper to show the messy fragility of the system currently in place, and the crowded and dense images reflect the intensity and the panic of the immigrants. This journey immigrants face is a painful one, sadly filled with desperation, injustice, and corruption.
