Kinesis Magazine: Creative Director

My two main passions are science and art, so a role that encompasses both is exactly suited to me. I study Zoology and have a particular interest in insect behaviour as well as parasitology. However, a lot of my time outside of uni is spent creating, from collaging, to embroidery, to photography and pottery. I have been involved in making zines in the past and working within a team to produce collaborative creative work. I also bring valuable experience of being a society committee member from working as the Events Director for the Animal Rights Society. Already having an article published, I am eager to expand my involvement, and contribute to the creative process. My goal is to bring new ideas to Kinesis, ensuring it remains a dynamic and evolving publication. I’d love to encourage those who may not consider themselves ‘artists’ to contribute, through accessible ways, such as collaging.

Thank you for considering me for the position of Creative Director!

Hello, I'm Yasmin. Having been Creative Director for Kinesis this year, I have had a lot of fun in helping make Issue 12 come to life, whether it was illustrating the front cover and articles, designing the spreads or helping other artists, and I would love to continue doing so in my final year.

As a passionate advocate for creativity, with a strong background in life sciences, I am excited about maintaining a thriving community for both scientists and creatives. Through the experience that I gained from this year as Creative Director, to being involved in art and graphic design in other societies, or my part-time jobs, I believe I have developed strength in time management, creative decision-making and leadership that would aid me for another year of Kinesis.

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 facilitate this!

With your vote and support, I am confident that I will continue being a successful Creative Director in creating visually appealing magazines, and helping the committee in growing the community. Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to working with you all again! 

Hi!

My name is Bella Marwick, and I was one of the creative directors this year for Kinesis magazine. 

I am doing the BaSc degree (arts and sciences), so I am very familiar with studying both life sciences and artistic practices. Being well-versed in the arts, I have experience in graphic design, layout work and visual design so I have a solid background to support this committee position. As well as this, I have a small Etsy arts shop and I am currently doing some art modules as part of my degree. 

I intend to encourage more artists to join kinesis through new events, and to guide artists patiently and enthusiastically through the process of creating meaningful pieces of art to compliment various life sciences articles. 

Thank you!
