psydfx magazine cover: pills + cognitive liberty

Cover for psydfx (pronounced "side effects"), a self-conceptualized magazine about cognitive liberty and ethics. The cover's single headline, "To Be or Not to Be," is spelled in Morse code by the pharmaceuticals, all of which are medications commonly used in the field of psychiatry.

The Center for Cognitive Liberty & Ethics (cognitiveliberty.org) "defines cognitive liberty as the right of each individual to think independently and autonomously, to use the full spectrum of his or her mind, and to engage in multiple modes of thought."

The CCLE further states, "Today, as new drugs and other technologies are being developed for augmenting, monitoring, and manipulating mental processes, it is more important than ever to ensure that our legal system recognizes and protects cognitive liberty as a fundamental right."
