In Wedding411's Fall/Winter 2013 issue (404 pages), I designed 23 stories (116 pages) and 92 ads.
The Dessert Detour editorial piece highlighted Baklava Couture.
The following editorial piece on Nautical Nuptials had an on the water feel, but with a twist.
Instead of keeping the article in a monotone scheme with blues (typical with nautical themed weddings), I incorporated the bright salmon color in the popular chevron pattern to make it
the article feel livelier/more modern. This pattern was repeated later on in the article,
transforming the chevron pattern into a design element that resembled a rope.
This next article on "Marrying Your Photographer" was part of an ongoing series in Wedding411 concerning legal issues to look out for before your wedding. I decided that this article could use a little illustration. I was able to locate a vector image of a film roll. This along with the drop cap allowed the right page to be just as visually interesting as the left page (with the photo).
Country Club at Woodmore's full page ad. I chose to give this ad a wood grain background
to emphasize the outdoorsy-ness look the advertiser was looking for.
Inslee by Design full page ad. This was an ad for our cover illustrator Inslee.
I took inspiration for her ad from her trade show booths design.
She often features her work in a frame or lined up along a ribbon.
Self Storage full page ad.
