Challenge
The challenge was to design a full magazine that felt visually engaging and consistent across multiple page types, while making veganism feel welcoming rather than overly serious or niche.
Goal
The goal was to create an uplifting editorial identity using bright photography, playful colour, and clean layouts to highlight local vegan food, comfort food, and positive plant-based stories.
Solution
I created a vibrant, expressive magazine system using custom food photography, pastel colour palettes, and clean editorial layouts. The final design keeps the subject approachable while maintaining consistency across feature spreads, sponsor ads, and supporting editorial pages.
