CUSTOM MAGAZINE PROJECT (2021)

Created in the final semester for my print media class, the assignment was to create and print out our own custom magazines. When I first started to tackle this project, I was set on creating a music inspired magazine. I wanted to make sure the branding and aesthetics were obvious that it was a music based magazine. 
 
You can see how I experimented with titles and possible formatting, even from the beginning. I wanted to include the smiley-faced record to tie in with the title of the magazine - "Drop the Stylus". 

The rest of the magazine was formatted and designed with consistency in mind. From the shapes, to the illustrations, I had a clear idea of what I wanted to do and how I wanted it formatted. The project was assembled in Indesign, while other assets were created in Photoshop, Procreate, and Illustrator.

custom magazine back cover ad redesign

BACK COVER

For the back advertisement, we were to chose an original advertisement in an actual magazine to redesign. I got voted to do the hearing aid advertisement, which ended up becoming the back cover of the magazine. This advertisement, as well as all the others throughout the magazine, were redesigned / newly designed by myself.

All illustrations throughout the magazine were done by me in Procreate.
