THEYA
Print design, logo design, photography, layout design, branding.
Theya reads as a collective community diary, documenting and celebrating the lives of young adults. Theya consists of writing, photography, collage, drawings, scanned objects, and design (down to the logo and layouts). A mailing card was made as well.
Theya is a platform in the form of a print magazine collection, offering inspiration, self-expression, and joy to marginalized young adults. this is the first concept issue, focusing mainly on queerness, blackness, femininity, and growing older. For marginalized youth specifically, I think people often forget that we are more than the injustices we face, contrary to what mainstream media highlights. We have passions, hobbies, and interests. We love, we create, and we’re analytics.

THE BRAND CONCEPT
The name theya is inspired by the planet and Titan, “Theia”, both the mother of the moon in greek mythology, and the hypothesized planet that created our Earth’s core and moon. The moon as a symbol harbors themes of the feminine, dreams, and the arts, and by replacing the “i” with a “y” to create the pronoun “they”, we create a space for our collective community.
