DESIGN PROBLEM: Designing a minimalist magazine presents a unique set of challenges because the design itself should reflect the principles of minimalism, which emphasize simplicity, clarity, and the removal of excess.
DESIGN PROCESS: I research other minimalist magazines and publications for inspiration. Ensure that the style aligns with the minimalist concept and reflects the magazine's identity. I used a consistent typography hierarchy for headings, subheadings, body text, and captions. I used minion pro for their simplicity. I chose a limited color palette that reflects the magazine's identity and conveys the desired mood. I also ensured that the chosen colors complement each other and align with the minimalist aesthetic. And each page has an appropriate balance of empty space to maintain a clean and uncluttered look.
DESIGN SOLUTION: The magazine will be sent out on a monthly basis. I use a minimalistic and visually appealing cover that represents the magazine's concept and grabs the reader's attention. I use a simple color scheme, typography, and striking images that convey the magazine's theme. I use whitespace generously to create breathing room and a sense of calm on each page. I created a few inside spread pages, and a black and white stunning image for the magazine cover. I tried to create the magazine that effectively communicates its message, engages readers, and maintains a visually appealing.
