Little Utopias
(Magazine and Creative Direction)
Published in 1516, Thomas More’s book Utopia portrays a fictional island, serving as the inspiration for LEAP’s Fall/Winter 2023 edition titled “Little Utopias.” This edition can be taken as a map, which will guide you to four imagined islands—Dwelling, Communing, Worlding, and Reimagining. Throughout this journey, you’ll get a glimpse of the realization of idealist thoughts in everyday life, the organization of creative communities, and the construction and maintenance of utopian spaces. The design of the magazine incorporates customized typography, resembling islands on a map with their distinct yet interconnected outlines. Earth tones inspired by various topographies dominate the color palette, while visual essays are complemented by illustrated or geometric shapes, representing diverse types and scales of maps.
