Wes L Cockx shared a beautiful editorial design project on his Behance profile. It was for The Big Disconnect article for the Atlanta publication. The article talks about, or asks what happened to Google Fiber in Atlanta. But we are not featuring it here because of the content per se, but how the content was laid out on the pages as well as the beautiful and bold 3D text.
Below you can see some details of the final piece. In addition Wes, shared a couple "work in progress" examples of alternative designs that were tried. I always love to see those, especially because it gives a bit more perspective that people try a lot of things before landing on what they consider final.
Editorial design has become almost an addiction to me. I used to spend most of my time checking illustrations and photo-manipulation but in the past few years I noticed that compositions, grid and typography were gaining traction.
With the new year I have started collecting references for the new Abduzeedo design. This time it will be heavily focused on mobile with the mobile version driving the design decisions for the rest of the devices despite the fact that most traffic comes from desktop.
The amazing people from Folch Studio put together an incredible editorial design project for Metal Magazine, a fashion publication for a younger demographic.
Juliana Christmann and Moritz Büsselberg shared an awesome editorial design project featuring magazine spreads very well designed using a classic grid system.
