Shades Magazine
The brief
To provide a set of layout templates for the publication. Since this
is an arts organisation these layouts needed to be image-led, to
showcase the visual work of contributors.
What I did
SoN had some basic branding – a typeface and a logo.
I took this and built on it, adding the vertical line feature on the
titles, and choosing a different typeface for the body.
I implemented a grid that would allow a lot of flexibility, so that
each spread could be customised to the work of the artist/author
but still remain consistent.
