What will you take with you? What will you leave behind?
Mimp Mag is an independent and self-published online platform and print volume, based in Toronto, that aims to celebrate the imperfections that make up the women around and within us. Since it's inception 8 years ago, the magazine has evolved, but it continues to remain true to its original purpose: to ignite meaningful conversations through the power of creative imagery, inspiring interviews and personal essays. This fifth issue, Cycles, explores the rhythmic patterns of progress, retraction, and transformation.
The last issue of Mimp was published in 2018, and up until that point, the issues had been designed as individual publications, without a recognisable design system. Going into this issue, the goal was to establish a cohesive and elevated editorial system for the magazine going forward.
The theme of the fifth issue is: Cycles. A Cycle is a succession through the dips, peaks, and valleys of the universe within and around us, knowing that we will return home once again. Through reading the carefully constructed pages, you are encouraged to dive deeper into yourself. Pause to listen to how each stage contains a gift, a lesson, a chance to grow. Do you lean in to these patterns, memories, traditions, cycles or do you break them? Will you take them with you or will you leave them behind?
