Cover Design - Exceptions Journal

This is the cover of the first print volume of Exceptions Journal, an art and literary journal for students with visual disabilities that hopes to open all of our eyes and minds to new ways to see. I designed and illustrated the cover using Adobe Photoshop and InDesign.

The concept was agreed upon by the editorial board before I started working. The iris of the eye is supposed to be reminiscent of a color blindness test; most people who are colorblind have the hardest time identifying the colors red and green. The black dots in the center of the eye are arranged to spell "Exceptions" in braille. The goal was to create a vibrant, visually stimulating design that somehow incorporated Exceptions' mission and character.
