“CRUDE”
“PARTY HARD IN THE JUNK YARD”

Y1/UNIT/INTRO_TO_MJP


Tasked with creating a magazine cover and full spread based on something that represents our interests, I created “crude”, a magazine focused on sustainability in the rave scene. 
The cover is an AI composite image referencing a childhood image of myself and a rubbish tip. Items 2 and 3  are from the double page spread focused on sustainable rave wear.

Front cover and full spread for article titled “What does it really cost to be an artist?” by Severin Matusek. Cover was made with an ASCII art generator and was inspired by the Chinese year of the dragon.

Y2/UNIT/MAGAZINE_DESIGN

BRIEF: Create a magazine design project consisting of three main components: crafting a magazine layout for an existing article, developing an image-centric editorial piece featuring original visuals and suitable headlines/captions, and designing a front cover that encapsulates the magazine's overarching concept.


> Article design featuring the bitmap adaptation of several works depicting struggle or bargaining in art.



> Image-lead editorial featuring the digital archival of a squat using a combination of image focus, LiDAR scan, and satirical AI pattern recognition motifs.
