For this editorial assignment, Jose Fresneda & Justin Colt asked students to conceptualize and design a magazine of their choice. “This project is more than just a typographic exercise, as we wanted students to pitch magazine ideas that were a reflection of their own interests, strengths and personalities.”
“Over a four week time period, we saw these magazines evolve from an idea and a few spreads, to a full blown publication. The end results were surprising and exciting from both a design and conceptual standpoint–spanning across ideas such as a millennial art quarterly, a deep dive exploration of fear and phobias, traditional Chinese recipes, an insider look at stay-at-home fashion and aesthetics, and eggs.”
Rainbow Mag, A monthly magazine with sections on life, wellness, music and the arts and how it relates to happiness. The title is “Rainbow Mag” and the idea is that the magazine encompasses a full spectrum of ideas about life, happiness and dealing with not so happy times. Rainbows come after sun and rain, and isn’t that what life is? The ups and downs are the human experience.
