Beyond Digital: Magazine

For the fall quarter in my last year of design school I was tasked with making an entire magazine, cover to cover. At first the task was very daunting, where to even begin? So I started with a topic that really got me interested in design: Photoshop.

I wanted the magazine to feel fresh and different from other technical photoshop magazines by making my layouts clean and simple. I noticed through my research that other technical magazines are very cluttered and jammed full on every page.

This project was also an interesting challenge because I showcased my magazine with a website, and it was the first time I coded php. The website would show in-depth video tutorials that would be free as well as pro tutorial packages that you would be able to purchase.

I also wanted to think about the growing popularity of reading magazines on tablets. Images could come to life adding a whole new aspect to the articles. The starting image is a cinemagraph that would start with the raw photo and would slowly start to transform into the final edited image.

This image would show all the tools that were used to retouch the model, and why they were used.

This image would have a link to the pro tutorial on Beyond Digital’s website, adding to the whole experience of the magazine.
