Project Description

A study in transformation.

This project focused on understanding an existing editorial identity and translating its structure into a new issue concept. The theme, Metamorphosis, guided the pacing, imagery, and visual rhythm.

The design uses strong hierarchy, intentional white space, and carefully controlled layouts to create an editorial experience that feels cohesive while allowing each artist profile to have its own visual tone.

  • Designed a full editorial system inspired by an existing publication style.
  • Created layout variation while maintaining consistent visual rules.
  • Explored how typography can create pace, hierarchy, and mood.
