THIS ISSUE OF 24 PAGES

ASKED US TO

SLOW DOWN

In a space that celebrates bold visuals and loud creative expression, we chose to look closer. At the details, the words, the things that we sometimes overlook. What we found wasn’t quieter creativity, but deeper creativity. The kind that only reveals itself when we take the time to really examine what’s in front of us.

24 Pages has always been about showcasing the creative voices across Grand Canyon University. This issue challenges you, and us, to experience those voices in a new way. We leaned into writing, into the weight of each word, the rhythm of the sentences, and the stories that unfold when you read each line.

And yet, this issue is far from simple.

Through typography and 3D design, these pieces take on a new life. Words become something that you don’t just read, but something you feel, and something you move through with intention.

Sometimes we think creativity has to be loud to be meaningful.

That it has to demand attention. But this issue is saying something else.

Sometimes we have to look closer.

To sit with what’s in front of us. Examine it. And let it speak to us.

Because when we do, we realize it was never meant to be ordinary in the first place.

So with the third issue of 24 Pages, we invite you to slow down.

Take your time. And look a little closer.

There’s more than meets the eye.
