When I thought about making a music magazine, I knew I wanted to make it really bold and in-your-face. I always wanted to read a music magazine that focused on artists I enjoy listening to. I noticed that a lot of musical artists I enjoy were also in the musical festival scene- so I decided to merge the two together and talk about my favorite artists while also discussing the music festival scene. 

 

I was trying to figure out a color palette for this magazine, I decided to pull color swatches from album covers of artists I was thinking of featuring in this magazine; The 1975’s album, “A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships,” had these small, colored squares scattered throughout the cover. It was on a white background  with black text. I pulled swatches from a few of the squares and ended up choosing a red, a yellow, and a blue along with black and white. I liked how these colors complimented another and how they looked paired with black and white. Later, I added the orange and peach shade from the gradient I have featured throughout the magazine to give myself more color options. 

​

All line illustrations, and other design elements were made by me. Story content, titles, and photos were pulled from Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Mojo magazine.
