The Canadian Journal of Large–Format Photography
This was a project to create a new fictional magazine for a specialized, niche market. I decided to create a magazine about large format photography (a passion of mine).
I wanted the magazine to have a certain level of class and exclusivity. There are not many large format photographers out there. I was lucky to be able to find a few famous artists (Nick Knight, Ed Burtynsky)
that still do.
Each jump spread is treated differently; photography, typography, and illustrative.
This was a fun project to do.
NOTE: I have made drastic changes to the design and layout. Cleaned it up and made it look a bit less student(y). Having interned at a magazine and a print design shop this past summer, I have learned to pare back my designs. Get rid of the excess, and let the design speak for itself. A dummy advert was added to fill in the page.
