Kinesis Magazine: Creative Director

Hello! I am Yasmin, a 2nd year Arts & Sciences student, running for Creative Director for Kinesis Magazine.

The role of Creative Director unites both my interests in life sciences, as well as art and design, similar to my degree. Therefore, as a passionate advocate for creativity, with a strong background in life sciences, I am excited about the opportunity to potentially contribute my skills and ideas to the continued success of the magazine, and help maintain a thriving community of both scientists and creatives. 

My experience and background offers me the important insight to be a successful Creative Director. 

I gained leadership experience as my sixth form Science Society’s president, curating a space for people to discuss and share their interests in science. Additionally, I have been given opportunities to practice my art skills throughout my university career, for example, as a member of the graphic design team for Malaysian Society’s annual cultural production. 

I deeply admire what Kinesis Magazine does in allowing students to explore their interests in a meaningful context outside of their own studies, and I think it would be wonderful  to utilise my interdisciplinary and strong interpersonal skills in both the sciences and arts to help this community. 

With your vote and support I look forward to implementing positive changes, and I am confident that I will be an effective and welcoming Creative Director - making a lasting creative impact on our magazine and the team. Thank you for considering my

Hi, my name is Bella!

I joined Kinesis this year and have already started creating works of art for various issues, which has been very fun! I am very interested in and great at overseeing creative processes and guiding teams of creative people. I have experience in this through my Etsy art business where I have and continue to guide the other individuals working in conjunction with me, and oversee all creative processes before they are completed.

I have also gained great time management skills, having to balance my art business with my other part-time job as well as all my uni work and work I do in various societies.

Additionally, I think I would be greatly suited to this role as I have taken many arts modules as part of my degree and have gained fine skills in drawing, graphics, layout design and photography. In my spare time I also practice art regularly, so I am very confident in my decision-making skills when it comes to artistic decisions. 

Lastly, I have had plenty of experience with checking up on and suggesting improvements in projects, whether in a study group or when leading an art project, so I believe the role of creative director would suit me very well. 

Thank you!
