The origin point of my Study Tour magazine series, this first volume set the visual and conceptual tone for everything that followed. Designed as a digital collage of memories, the magazine captures my experience touring New York’s creative scene during Fall 2023. Gritty, colorful, and image-heavy, it documents exclusive access to studios like Champions Design and The Society of Illustrators, as well as lectures from industry icons like Liza Donnelly and Lynne Yun. Paired with reflections on museum visits — from FIT to Greene Naftali — this issue became both a personal archive and a blueprint for the visual storytelling that would define the series.
