Artist Magazine Project

A magazine layout featuring articles about earthquakes, with photos of a man with a beard and cowboy hat, a band performing on stage, and a person holding an award.

The Project

For this project, we had to create a magazine. We had to decide between a musical artist, an art-inspired magazine, or a food truck-focused magazine.

Open magazine with an interior shot of a man's face, wearing a cowboy hat, on the left page, and a red cover of a magazine titled "VOLUME" with a bearded man also wearing a cowboy hat on the right.

The Process

As you can see, I chose to focus on a musical artist, Chris Stapleton. I didn’t want it to feel too country, but instead show off his rock side as well. I also wanted to include the “paper-cut-out” look to give it a fun twist from normal magazines, and so it would feel cohesive throughout.

Man with long hair and a beard, wearing a cowboy hat, a dark jacket, holding four awards in front of a brown background with a white border. Next to him is a quote from Tom Petty praising Chris Stapleton's voice, and a caption at the bottom mentioning Chris winning four CMA Awards in 2023.
