The Spring 2021 issue of the University of Toronto Magazine covers big topics like accessibility, disinformation and sustainability. We wanted to convey the importance of these issues while offering some optimism and much-needed hope. Saty + Pratha captured the authenticity and poise of two students with disabilities who shared their experiences for the cover feature while Grace J. Kim’s lovely work perfectly complements a piece about overcoming adversity. The issue also includes powerful illustrations by Nate Kitch, a beautiful portrait by Wade Hudson and lots more.
The Autumn 2021 issue is filled with stories of innovation and cutting edge research including the cover feature, which delves into the miracle of insulin on the 100th anniversary of its discovery, illustrated by Andrea Ucini. Photographer Jorian Charlton photographed the students in places around the city where they go when they want a feeling of home. And Cody Punter’s images featuring people in Nunavut hunting, fishing and living off the land, perfectly complimented the story about solutions to hunger in Canada’s north.
The issue won Gold for Best Cover and Silver for Best Issue at the 45th National Magazine Awards.
