FUSION MAGAZINE
Fusion Magazine is Kent State University’s LGBTQ+ Magazine, serving as the only student magazine covering LGBTQ+ issues in Northeast Ohio.
I have been on the Fusion staff for 2 years, serving as a graphic designer 2023-2024 and the Art Director 2024-2025. As a designer for “The Grunge Issue”, I designed six layouts for a 64-page magazine, along with creating social media and website content alongside a wonderful team. As the Art Director for “The Visibility Issue” and “Our Story Continues”, I managed a team of 13 talented designers and illustrators to create two 32-page magazines, produced in the fall and spring semesters. I played a key role in shaping the creative direction of our publications and directed the production of magazine layouts, ensuring they upheld the vision and standards of Fusion. I delegated design tasks to team members and facilitated the design of social media content and website graphics alongside the magazine development. I worked closely alongside the Editor-In-Chief, Web Editor, Social Media Coordinator, and Photo Editor to help create something that reflected the defiance and resilience of the queer community in the face of adversity.
