Front and back cover and 2-page interior spread for a Designer Series, focusing on an influential graphic designer. The cohesive design for both the cover and interior spread creates a visual identity and expression that is fitting for the designer.
Above is a wrap-around cover for the Designer Series, showcasing the well-known graphic designer April Greiman. The use of vernacular imagery and layering is an homage to the work created by the designer, giving it a unique and recognizable feel. An image of Greiman is used on the cover to better showcase the designer and allows a face to a name, and fits the standard magazine cover showcasing the person who is highlighted.
Above is a 2-page spread with a written biography about Greiman, including education, influence, and achievements. The layout is simple to better accentuate the type and prevent distractions. A quote is used to create ties to the designer as well as accentuate her as a person. Another image of her is used, as well as a feature of her work to break up the text.
