IT Express is a annual magazine published by Kathmandu University Computer Club just the few days before the grandest IT event in Nepal , i.e. "IT MEET". It is a platform for students to share knowledge and experiences, showcase their talents and skills. IT Express began with the aim to give exposure to student’s projects and to help them express themselves to a wider audience, which consequently would also develop their writing skills

As a Graphic Designer at IT Express in 2022, I played a crucial role in the successful publication of the IT Express Journal by applying the necessary design elements to enhance the magazine's visual appeal. Collaborating with a dedicated team, we worked tirelessly for weeks to complete the project. Despite the challenges inherent in design work, the final product was truly remarkable. The effort invested was substantial, but the outcome justified every moment spent refining and perfecting the magazine's layout and aesthetics.
