The objective was to design a magazine that covers the bands and song artists that are from Sacramento along with their fan's personal stories relating to their music. The design must appeal to the general fanbase of Sacramento's music scene.
All photos were taken by Andrew Jay Kwong (me), Matt Vlach, Sebastian Phouthavong, and Nayeli Ramirez.
Through the research of Sacramento's music scene, my team and I found that the general fanbase favored a more clean yet collage style of design for aesthetics. While applying a grid system to the overall design, I set the front cover of the magazine to be four photos that would be later used in the magazine to tie in four individual stories.
This is the first page of the article I wrote. The story was about my personal experience with Tycho's music while wandering the Sacramento area. For the first two pages of the article, I wanted to re-emphasize the system that the design will follow to tie back into the clean aspect of the magazine.
Following each article is a work of art done in a collage style and integrating text and image into a whole. This work connects a photo of a location in Sacramento to a song in Tycho's 'Dive' album.
Here are the rest of the article spreads in the magazine.
