This a conceptual magazine design for Grist. Grist is an American non-profit online magazine that publishes environmental news and commentary. I designed a magazine spread that covered stories regarding climate change from May 2018.
Grist is a very progressive and playful brand. They pair quirky, colorful images with graphic elements and illustrations with a majority of their stories. I reflected Grist’s fun spirit throughout the design by incorporating pops of bold colors throughout the spreads. Additionally, the spreads consist of clean columns and thin lines to add a minimalistic and modern feel to the magazine. I wanted to have a simple and crisp layout, so that the emphasis was placed on the fun colors used throughout the spreads.
