Horizon Magazine

Fall 2018 issue

Horizon magazine is a student-run magazine that is released every semester at Colorado Mesa University. Designers and illustrators work directly with writers to design the most effective layout and visuals for the stories. This story examines the hookup culture that university life has adopted. It provided the university’s students with valuable statistics and information that students are more likely to understand and retain. Because this magazine is highly distributed and viewed by students, there is no promise that they will actually read the article. Some may skim, just read the pull quotes, or only look at the images. The illustrations are meant to grab attention, laughter, and relate to their hookup culture. Although the pull quote is not said in the article if they are to read and retain one thing from this spread it is to get tested and wear a god damn condom.
