Pulse Literary Magazine is a yearly campus publication sent out to alumni and friends of Marietta College. Our clients, the Pulse Literary Group of the college, wanted a sophisticated, organic, and natural style. The design system had to include student-created art, photos, and written content. Much of the copy had unusual rags. So, I created organic shapes to either accentuate or reshape those rags. The artwork spanned a variety of subjects and colors, so I didn't choose a set color palette for the entire magazine. I pulled prominent colors and created desaturated color blocks to lead your eye across the page. Click on the image of the publication's cover for the entire PDF to flip through!
