Player 1 Start
Magazine Project

Project Background

Another semester-long project; here, the goal was to design (and publish!) a magazine with a topic of any choice complete with articles, ads, a catalogue page, splash pages, etc. I was always a gamer at heart, so it only made sense to make my magazine about video games.

This project is what I consider to be my finest work; it encapsulates what I am (a gamer and a graphic designer) in a single magazine and getting to go back and work on it for this portfolio provided ample opportunity to redo elements that were lacking before, like a new Department 1 or moving and adding sections for the product catalog.
