Preserver Magazine

This magazine was by far the most challenging project I’ve done, primarily because of the subject. Having been a lifeguard for many years, this project was just as much a personal project as it was a class project. Teenagers are tasked with the job of being rescuers, and few people understand the weight of this, “fun summer job”. You rarely hear of the good guards do, but often hear of the tragedy their negligence causes.

These young guards need a place to share their stories and uplift one another – a community to call their own. Pool managers need a tool to show their young staff their job is important, and that their time spent wasting away under the hot sun is valuable.

Preserver, the lifeguard magazine, is the answer to this calling.
