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.

SEASONAL COVERS

Every issue of Agathon has an overarching theme for its feature stories, such as the spring issue, “Beginnings” and summer issue, “Changing”. The imagery and literature all reflect different angles of the theme.

“Love is the name for our pursuit of wholeness, for our desire to be complete.”
