THE ACTS for
@strikemagazinetlh issue 17, The Best for Last Issue
My final cover for strike as creative director, and possibly the most special.
Over the last 5 months throughout the making of this issue, we’ve explored the meaning of final moments and the tendency to preserve and celebrate them as they go. In the process, we came to realize that every step along the journey holds just as much significance as the conclusion. So while we may wonder what is left of us when those moments (whatever they may be to you) turn to retrospective, the Best for Last Issue urges us to cherish the experience along the way and make the last moment when it does arrive, well, lasting.
This issue is dedicated to the ones who came before. Those here now. And those who come after. May we all leave something worth remembering.
