The Ateneo Freshmen Survival Tract is a project of El Consejo Atenista, the student governing body of Ateneo de Zamboanga University. It is a magazine type manual containing essential information, tips, and guides for incoming freshmen students. The theme for 2009 is El Vida Atenista which means "The Life of an Atenista."
I served as the creative director, illustrator and layout artist of AFST for two years, 2008 to 2009. AFST 2008 looked like a passport and laid out as if you were reading a plane/travel guide. AFST 2009 was inspired by Harry Potter's Hogwarts without the witches and broomsticks. It is also inspired by pop art. It is one of my favorite works which we made only about two weeks including the printing. Here's the document file so you can see it.
