MAGAZINE LAYOUT & AD DESIGN
As a Senior Graphic Designer at Media Index Publishing, my responsibilities include editorial design, color correction, cover design, gift guides, calendars, preflight processes, and ad creation. I maintain organization by using a monthly production sheet to track advertisements for four different magazines.
Below is a preview of several magazine covers and an editorial layouts. I utilize Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign for both print and web tasks. For video editing, I work with After Effects and Premiere Pro. Additional samples are available upon request.

SAMPLE MAGAZINE REDESIGN PRINT & DIGITAL
BEFORE
InDesign has enabled me to create traditional and non-traditional layouts. In classic magazine and book layouts, I have been able to create clean designs with the use of character styles. I stepped things up and decided to create an interactive magazine with moving elements and fill-in text boxes.
The first issue below is an interactive version of the magazine about glamour and transformation. A promotional piece in magazine style, this design encourages the viewer to interact. The remaining examples showcase the magazine in a print layout that allows people to view via a link online. The use of page swipes and floating titles adds a simple element to engage and entertain the viewer; to give the viewer a different experience and grab their attention. Click to view.
AFTER
Redesigned and retitled as Dirty Glamour Magazine, a magazine about glamour and transformation. The models are transformed using digital imagery to dream worlds. With a concentrated focus on simplifying the design due to the complicated images, this magazine is an opportunity for me to create a clean imaginative framework to be reused for every issue.
I had the opportunity to design the layout for both print and interactive. Each issue is a progression in design. I streamlined the title to easily fit every issue and reflect a modern but retro edge. As the magazine evolves so does the design. Click to view.
