Are the Planets Inhabited?
I designed this editorial spread to explore the question of life beyond Earth, creating a moment of quiet wonder that sits between scientific inquiry and imaginative possibility. The composition uses layered nebula textures to establish depth and visual flow, guiding the reader through the narrative while maintaining an atmospheric sense of scale.
Each planetary element is treated as its own focal point, with distinct lighting, color, and spatial cues that suggest distance, mystery, and the vastness of the universe. This intentional contrast reinforces the theme and anchors the reader within the layout’s visual hierarchy.
The typography blends a bold, futuristic title with grounded, highly readable body text. I balanced dense paragraphs with circular callouts, soft glows, and open negative space to keep the spread airy and approachable. These choices support both clarity and mood, allowing the design to function as a window into a larger story world.
This piece reflects my approach to mid‑level editorial design: thoughtful hierarchy, atmospheric color work, and narrative‑driven composition that elevates the reader’s experience.
Metromoheim Museum Art Talk Page Spread
This editorial spread was developed for “Art Talk,” a feature highlighting inclusion and diversity within contemporary art. My design approach centered on creating a layout that feels welcoming, refined, and thoughtfully curated, mirroring the tone of a modern museum exhibition.
I established a structured grid system that anchors the reader as they move through the content, ensuring clarity while allowing each artist to maintain a distinct visual presence. The cool‑toned palette and soft shadowing draw from gallery environments, creating a calm, contemplative atmosphere that supports the theme.
The arrangement of artist portraits intentionally echoes a curated wall display, introducing each creator with the same respect and visibility they would receive in a physical exhibition. This sequencing guides the reader through the narrative, encouraging connection before diving into the artists’ stories and work.
The typography blends classical serif elements with clean, modern forms to balance professionalism with approachability. This combination reinforces the editorial tone while keeping the layout fresh and contemporary.
Overall, the composition reflects my focus on clarity, narrative flow, and visual hierarchy, crafting an on‑page exhibition experience that elevates each artist’s voice and invites the reader into the broader conversation around diversity in the arts.
Metromoheim Museum Art Talk Article
This extended magazine spread was designed as a companion piece to the primary Art Talk exhibition layout. The goal was to take the same brand identity and build a more immersive experience for the featured artists. I structured the design to feel like a guided gallery tour on the page, giving each photograph its own space while maintaining a consistent visual rhythm.
The style leans into a museum-inspired atmosphere with cool tones, soft gradients, and restrained typography. These elements support the artwork without overpowering it. The table of contents and section headers help frame the narrative, and the full-page visuals provide quiet moments for the reader to pause with each piece. I placed emphasis on readability and flow, which keeps the viewer moving naturally from introduction to artwork.
This project demonstrates my ability to expand a brand across multiple formats while holding onto a cohesive voice. It highlights my approach to layout design, narrative structure, and visual hierarchy, along with my focus on creating an experience that feels polished, organized, and thoughtfully curated.
