The cover depicts a mother nature-like figure holding planet Earth safely under their arm. Colourful flowers and foliage surround Mother Nature and the planet. The calming palette of blues and greens contrasts the threatening red background. Mother Nature pours water on themselves, emphasizing themes of healing and growth within a world of chaos and uncertainty.

The main appearance alludes to environmental sustainability, however it refers to all facets of sustainability. Growth and healing applies to personal health, such as tending to our mental and physical health, as well as economical health, such as taking care of underrepresented communities, as well as our own bank accounts. Sustainability goes beyond taking care of the environment it also includes taking care of ourselves and our community.

Hi! My name is Sofia and I’m really excited to be working as The Gateway’s Art Director for the upcoming 2020-21 school year. I’m going into my fifth and final year of working towards my Bachelor of Design in Visual Communications Design. In my spare time, I like to take care of my plants, annoy my cat Napoleon, dabble in film photography and tend to my nearly unhealthy obsession with noodle soup.
