SEIZE is an independent magazine documenting the state of the London creative scene through the eyes of young people aged 20 to 30. Founded by two former
Central Saint Martin
students, Lucy and Natalie, it began as a way to proactively create opportunities for themselves and their peers. Their mission is to provide a space for young creatives to speak honestly about their lives and work, while bringing fresh perspectives to a wider audience.
I was approached to design the cover of their second issue, “Sell Out”. This issue aims to critically investigate what it means to "sell out" as a young person, through features from 16 London creatives making it work as freelancers, office workers, influencers, and everything else under the sun.
After conversations with the founders we settled on a garden scene with a sinking computer in the middle of a small pond. This contrast
represents
the balance between our own personal goals and needs of our professional careers. I would go on to create visuals for their social media and launch event.
