  • 90's Uni2 Know
    90's Uni2 KnowStudents at university right now are kids of the 90's therefore we decided to give them a chance to reminisce through our new edition. We did a super cool photo shoot with some exceptionally good looking students and photographers. We got our best designers and writers together and set to work. We were extremely proud of the outcome!
  • Second Year
    Second YearWe'd successfully got over the first year hump and so the best way to celebrate that was to publish a magazine all about second years and the second year of university. We arranged huge interviews with people such as Conor Maynard and Imagine Dragons, had some incredible design and a great photo shoot.
  • I'm a fresher get me out of here
    I'm a fresher get me out of hereWe decided the the first edition of the academic year would be themed as "I'm a Fresher Get Me Out Of Here". We organised the photo shoot and had a special section called 'Unlucky Fucker Trails". The various articles, interviews and design work was over seen by myself.
  • Uni2 Know Art & Stuff
    Uni2 Know Art & StuffWe set the theme of "Art & Stuff" as we thought we could inject an element of culture into the world of students. There are so many talented students and we wanted to show case them, therefore we scrapped our usual photo shoot and set about collating a long list of impressive student artwork and made a magazine devoted to them. What you see is what followed.
  • Uni2 Know Graduation
    Uni2 Know GraduationAs several of the writes and designers were graduating following this print we decided to make the theme 'graduation' and graduating. We set a budget for photography, print and production. We commissioned artwork and copy. The magazine was printed 10,000 times and was distributed to thousands of students. I also had to arrange all interviews with celebrities and artists, meanwhile catering for all interns.
  • Uni2 Know Dystopia
    Uni2 Know DystopiaTogether with the designers and writers we decided on a dystopian and satirical theme for the magazine. We therefore had to commission artwork and articles, we also set about organising a photo shoot and story board. The magazine went down a huge success and received rave reviews around the universities from students and lecturers alike.

    President of AEPI
     - 
    AEPI is a jewish fraternity in the US, I was contact by the Supreme Master ; Elan Carr and asked to start the first ever jewish fraternity in England. He had heard my name through the 'grape vine', I had recently been mentioned in several social media posts and jewish printed material as 'one to watch' and an entrepreneur around campus. My task was to recruit a large amount of fellow jewish young men who wanted to be involved in the organisation and fraternity. The fraternity promoted an excellent work ethic, a true philanthropic attitude and an amazing way to live during university life.
