Background

About Joseph MacArio

Joseph Macario (He/Him) is a multi-disciplinary artist who showcases his morals through presentation, aesthetics, and narrative. Within his first few meetings at the Fashion Institute of Technology’s newspaper, W27, he assumed the position as Co-Art Director and Co-Editor while also maintaining a writing position. While there, he used Adobe Suite applications to create a publication edition that focused on pivotal topics such as sustainability, voters rights, and eco-conscious consumption. Using his skills in InDesign and Photoshop, he created layouts and graphics that would showcase the information to the student body in engaging forms. Outside of the publication, he was using Adobe Spark, InDesign, and Photoshop to create presentations concerning public transportation in the United States through visually appealing type and graphics. His drive to use content to showcase issues and uplift others led him to his position as program intern at the non-profit Artists Alliance Inc. In his position, he would help local NYC artists gain exposure by creating press kits and newsletters for them. He then worked with his team to create grant applications for the non-profit that conveyed results in informative but also visually appealing formats. This position has sparked his interests in the arts and publication field where he hopes to bring his talents upon his graduation. After completion of his Marketing Communications and Creative Technology B.S. at FIT he plans to pursue an editorial position in an NYC arts publication.
