Washington Monthly

Sample magazine layout

Background:

Washington Monthly is a proposed statewide monthly news magazine with varied topics of interest from all over the northwest with a focus on energetic and interesting graphics and stories which draw in the reader, similar to inspired by the impressive success of Texas monthly.

Problem:

The project required creation of a sample magazine which would be used to obtain startup capital and establish the magazine’s visual style and content identity for future issues.

Solution:

Using provided copy, I created a 12 page sample of Washington Monthly’s new visual style focused creating contrast and restrained spectacle which amplifies the only magazine’s written content.

*Fictional Client played by instructor provided magazine written content – extrapolated from other articles. Magazine sample not for public release.*

*Politician Markos Liias did not give an interview with this magazine and his interview is purely fictional.*
