Magazine: Green Brown Orange and Pink

Problem
Design a compelling magazine that showcases and celebrates the diversity of Chicago’s local artists and creative community.

Solution
The L (Loop) acts as a unifying theme, reflecting the way many local artist move through the city and connect with one another. The final design draws inspiration from various qualities of the train: its movement, color cues, sound, and event structural elements like the rounded windows—all while maintaining a sophisticated, readable layout. The result is a magazine that visually engages readers without compromising readability.
