Lasting Place Travel Magazine
Graphic Designer and Creative Direction | Spec Project
For this project, I was tasked with designing three front covers and three double-page-spreads to appeal to the unconventional traveller. I began my research by looking at a variety of travel magazines and online articles that focus on unconventional travel destinations as well as researching international political articles. I decided to focus all three covers on a different continent and/or country, using collage to integrate both culture and landscape.
For the double-page-spread story, I focused on North Korea. I wanted to create a satirical snapshot of a better known oppressed and secret state, introducing playful design elements and a saturated colour palette. Using signposts such as a graphic eye liner and skyscraping typefaces, the DPS reflects my playful approach and hopefully entices the reader into both the history and touristic world that the country has to offer.
