I created a magazine brand identity with an impactful way of visually sharing and collecting information. LooseFit’s theme ties around creativity and no limitations so I choose to not limit the color palette and have lots of collage/textures. Unlike other magazines whose target is a demographic of individuals, LooseFit is set around my niche of people such as Temple students, also more specifically calling out to creatives.

Conclusion
Developing an entire illustrated magazine helped me balance more of my technical design skills with my drawing style by exploring graphic design approaches with typography, layout, and spacing. Using software such as Adobe Indesign and meshing together my illustrations with collaborative writing + images. I would enjoy deepening my understanding of collaborative work more in the future and working with major print or press companies delivering editorial illustrations. I learned throughout this process that there are many different ways to include interactivity in work as an artist to really draw people in and be engaged.
