Tarnished Magazine Design

The Story

Tarnished Magazine, conceived by Professor Stephen Fischer in 2012, serves as a counterpoint to Polished Magazine by celebrating unexpected beauty in visual and literary arts. The publication has evolved over the years while maintaining its core mission to highlight arts culture. With contributions from talented students, the magazine has garnered multiple accolades, including the prestigious Gold Crown and various awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press. These honors reflect both Fischer's vision and the high-quality work produced by the graphic design program at Lasell University, showcasing the enduring impact of his early inspiration.
