Editorial design
Magazine design
This thematic magazine is inspired by Ostara, celebrating renewal and transformation. The project became a space to explore aesthetics and storytelling, merging seasonal symbolism with my own creative language. Here you can see the magazine and the visual identity manual I created for it.
Concept
This editorial project is a magazine inspired by Ostara and the arrival of spring, exploring the symbolic relationship between women, flowers, and seasonal renewal. The publication celebrates femininity, nature, and cyclical transformation, using spring as a metaphor for growth, rebirth, and creative energy.
Creative approach
The magazine was conceived as an individual project with a strong experimental focus on visual identity. Through the exploration of composition, typography, and imagery, a distinctive editorial language was developed to appeal to a young audience. The design is supported by a carefully defined typographic system and graphic palette, reinforcing the thematic connection between femininity, nature, and the Ostara celebration. Prior to the design phase, extensive research was conducted on contemporary magazines, editorial projects, and visual references, as well as theoretical influences from art history and feminist literature.
