Despite my undergraduate capstone project having the constraints of a university assignment, I seized the opportunity to allow my creativity to flourish—and have fun with this mock-up editorial. With my passion for literary magazines, conceptualising my own was enlightening as I not only considered the commercial possibilities for such an undertaking but also its primary intention as an inclusive enviornment for prospective contributors and readers. Thus was born Beliau Mag.

The essence of this magazine was rooted in collaboration—the central component of the project—which was intended to serve as a space for young creatives to shine and experiment with their craft. Writing the editorial required snappiness and genuineness to emphasise this message, and through Beliau Mag, even in its fledgling and theoretical form, I created an engaging editorial with the hopes of prompting young creatives to write, draw, and create anything and everything they set their mind to.
