adorn magazine
/editorial design/
This brief is about designing an oversized magazine. The chosen topic is homeware with a focus on tableware for its first issue.
An emigre font for the masthead is chosen for its resemblance to the roof of a house in its letter 'A'. The inside pages are designed to be dynamic in layout with big typography as the design's main feature. This balances the overall muted tonality of the field.
The image of the front cover is the texture of ceramics and bubble wrap, conceptually hinting on the magazine's topic. A metallic paper stock is used for the cover to emphasize the idea of 'adornment' as well as to give more life to the muted image. Most of the images are personally taken, and interview is carried out for the purpose of this project.
