Agathon – Print Publication
An Exploration of Human Relationships


︎︎︎ 

Agathon is a quarterly publication that explores the different types and angles of relationships we have with the people, society, material things and ourselves.

It is based on Plato's "The Symposium," where a poet named Agathon invites philosophers onstage to each give a speech about their understanding of love.


VISUAL CONCEPT

Poetic and sophisticated, Agathon is conceptually an aquarium, showcasing stories using surrealism and symbols. Its layout labors over minimal details with an artistic and eccentric delivery.
