Magazine page layout design / Print Advertising
High-end editorial and advertising design for a premium local publication
The team required short-term creative support to maintain the magazine’s high design standards during a busy production period. The task involved taking on both editorial layout design and advertising artwork, ensuring everything aligned with the magazine’s sophisticated aesthetic while being print-ready within tight deadlines.
I stepped in to support the editorial team for a few weeks, working on:
– Page layout design that reflected the premium tone of the magazine
– Creating and refining advertisements, liaising directly with local businesses to get copy, logos, and images approved quickly
– Balancing editorial and commercial content in a way that preserved the magazine’s flow and visual appeal
My focus was on quality, clarity, and consistency—delivering professional, visually engaging layouts that elevated both the editorial and advertising content.
During the production window, I helped the team maintain a high standard of design execution, ensuring deadlines were met and local businesses were well-represented with clean, appealing ad designs. The magazine continued to reflect the high expectations of its readership and clients, while demonstrating how collaborative, short-term design support can make a real impact.
This project was a great opportunity to work within a high-end editorial environment, applying both my print design and client liaison experience under pressure—something I continue to bring to all my publication and marketing clients.
