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.

For Issue 05: Ways of Mapping, Source Material collaborated with ArtCenter students and alumni to explore and examine how maps have influenced and continue to influence the way we witness the world around us. The publication stands as a document and a celebration of nuance and individual subjectivity, inviting new modes of cartography that emphasize each person's singular experience of the world. 

Team: Elliana Lee, Sean Nagao, Ruby Kim, Aldon Chen, Nick Rheem, Rebecca Brown






A poster that highlights geographic anomalies in California, and a custom nalgene bottle depicting a reinterpretation of the first known map of Los Angeles’ settlement were given out as release party exclusive collateral.
