about this project
To better round out my design skills while still in college, I was driven to take COM 495: Intro to Publication Design the spring semester of my senior year. For our final project, we were encouraged to think outside the box and create any design from a brocure to a poster. I decided to create a concept magazine cover and two-page spread based around an indie music magazine.
I’ve always been inspired by combining retro and modern elements into a singular design. As someone who often designs social media posts, flyers, and websites on a weekly basis, I wanted to play around with different elements for this project and explore my creativity. For this design, I was inspired to combine bold typography and colors to generate an overall effect and feeling of excitement and uniqueness.
