IN THE MAKING OF | AURA MAGAZINE

STEP 1: MOOD BOARD FOR INSPIRATION

STEP 2: ESTABLISHING A NAME

The name I chose for the magazine has great significance. In Greek Mythology Aurora is the Goddess of Dawn. For me dawn signifies the end of a dark chapter and the beginning of a new one. Hopefully the murder of Paulina will shed a light on many other issues such as sexual harassment, rape, mental health conditions.

In other spiritual terms, aura refers to a coloured enery that surrounds humans, animals and objects.
