Source Material Issue 06: Amends


+ publlication
+ installation

Source Material, SM, is a student-led publication supported by the ArtCenter Writing Center. Created by and for students, SM is dedicated to publishing work that celebrates multi-disciplinary collaboration and challenges traditional, institutionalized design.
The interconnectedness of humans have long since proven the necessity of disrupting, confronting, and reconciling the flux of relationships. Through Issue 06: Amends, Source Material invites you to unravel the diverse ways in which students and alumni navigate the thread of making amends — with themselves, with others, and with the world.

The visual motif of mending was leveraged to represent the repairing of relationships.



The publication came bound with a postcard, made with workshop submissions.

This was also the first issue we designed and distributed Source Material t-shirts. Distributed to release party attendees to encourage the sense of community SM aims to foster.



The release party invited attendees to share their own take on making amends.


The workshops served as an introspective time to reflect and share thoughts on past relationships, lessons, and mending.
