Friends Magazine
Designing for award-winning children’s compilation magazine, Friends.
For this role, I combined typography and illustration to produce engaging, educational content for children. I am also confident in writing and proofing stories that are ready for print. Working on Friends, I handled multiple projects at once, each with different style guides. This had led me to understand and succeed in editing photos, proofing others work and ensuring approvals in time for the strict print deadlines.
The following are some examples of published pages within multiple issues of the magazine.
A PAW Patrol beach themed spread. This spread encourages children to use the PAW Patrol Rescue Set gift on the cover fo the magazine.
A Bluey spread with a competition.
Here are some examples of my Bedtime Tales spreads, where we collaborated with Anderson Press to showcase some of their early-learning stories. These are particularly interesting designs as they must follow the layout that Redan requires for continuity of the magazine, while keeping the story and illustrations as close to the original book as possible. This meant I got to work as a editor as well as a designer while structuring the story.
