TRUTH MAGAZINE
ABOUT THE MAGAZINE
This years issue of Truth Magazine looks at the stories of people around us facing crisis and recovery. The magazine takes a special look on this topic through the lenses of wellbeing, mindfulness, culture, finance and career. Truth Magazine is a growing project and was created as as extension of Truth Conference - a wellness getaway that encourages people to sit back, evaluate and live their lives to the fullest.
STYLE TILES
DESIGN BANK
Once we had decided on a style tile (Option 1), we created a layout 'bank' consisting of templates for us to pull from in the future. While analyzing other magazines we noticed that they were able to achieve a sense of uniformity and consistency by using the same templates throughout the magazine. We decided on creating a total of 16 templates, 8 of which were designed by myself. We also made sure to include pages where we could be creative to ensure that the magazine did not become too repetitive or boring.
Layout 1
Layout 2
Layout 3
Layout 4 & 5
Layout 6
Layout 7 & 8
ITERATION
Below is a sample iteration process for the table of contents / welcome from the editor spread. Both pages did not follow a layout from our design bank which allowed me to have full creative freedom while designing. The main requirements for this spread was to highlight the feature articles, list of articles in each category, include a welcome note, a photo of the founders and a list of the team.
