Publication Design

Context

Montreal’s metro stations double as hidden galleries, showcasing murals, sculptures, and installations by local artists. Often overlooked in the rush of daily life, these works quietly tell the story of the city one platform at a time.

Challenge

The STM has commissioned me to create a booklet that showcases the artwork in every metro station uncovering the stories, symbolism, and artists behind each piece, and inviting readers to see the network as a vibrant underground museum.

Approach

The approach was to design a magazine that highlights each metro station, showcasing its unique artwork, architectural features, and cultural significance station by station, story by story.

Solution

The magazine was designed to feature all the metro’s artworks, with enlarged images to capture the finer details and showcase the true artistry behind each piece.
