CITE stands for Copyright & Information Technologies in Education. The Community consists of biannual meetings, a biannual magazine, and a networking community professionals in the Higher Education field can participate in. My task was to bring this organic and varied community under one clear visual identity and create the content to go with it.
The CITE Magazine is distributed during the biannual CITE Forums. I conceptualised the magazine and was the editor for the first issue, the layout and format of which would then become the basis for future issues. I wrote articles and edited others’ articles, created custom illustrations to accompany the magazine, and arranged all of this for print and digital use.
I created this illustration to serve as the primary visual point for the magazine, featured as the front cover and an interior spread. The image takes inspiration from the works of William Morris, which are very traditional and important to the printing field. The birds, however, are inspired by the Twitter logo and the illustration was painted digitally. This fit in with the Forum’s theme of how libraries need to utilise their extensive heritage and knowledge of the digital world to thrive.
