Tasked with designing a publication on a topic of our choice, I chose to produce a magazine regarding conspiracies called Skeptic Magazine. Neither proving nor disproving the conspiracies covered in each issue, Skeptic would serve as a source of unbiased information and would feature articles from both perspectives.
This issue covers the 1969 moon landing. The focus on photography and the high contrast black & white color scheme serve to grab the reader's eye and put the focus purely on the imagery and information.
The Skeptic Magazine header logotype, set in Nimbus Sans Extended.
The masthead and table of contents spread are the perfect introduction to the magazine, with large display type, plenty of white space (in this case black space, I suppose), and bold photography.
The first article featured, "Conspiracy Theories: Debunked", explores the common questions conspiracy theorists ask about the moon landing. All body type is 9/13 Neue Haas Unica Regular.
This page is a continuation of the second article, explained below, and also features a one-page advertisement for the package redesign I produced for the same class.
The second article featured, The Cold War Propaganda of Project Apollo, covers the connections between the NASA and the U.S. government and how the cultural landscape of the U.S. shaped how the mission was conducted and how prominent leaders like President John F. Kennedy spoke about it.
