editorial design & direction, branding
The X magazine is thought and designed to promote the work from artists who are growing up in their careers as designers, illustrators, photographers, and other creative fields.
It started as a university project, but it could be done for real in a near future, because, in my opinion, it is always a good idea to show new trends and people.
The grid is specifically created for this unique magazine, as you can see in the pictures below, it is made from triangles and it is freely seen and shown in purpose by photos and lines that give an original feeling and a unique sensation when looking through the pages.
It is thought to be a digital magazine, as well as printed. The design is focused in the new technologies, but at the same time, it gives a "retro" appearance because of the colours and typography chosen. It is made in purpose to express the ideas about the way the art has changed in the last years. Everything is online and digital now, and this obviously helps everyone, but it shouldn't be taken as restrictive, it should just help without forgetting the other ways of making things. So, this is one of the ideas expressed in this magazine, as well as varied interesting topics to talk about, creating a specific topic for each number. The one chosen for the first number is " is it beauty?" and it challenges artists to think over it and act.
