NORTHWEST MONTHLY MAGAZINE
GOAL
The goal was to create a magazine concept that felt like it belonged to the Pacific Northwest while also experimenting with editorial layout and typography. The feature story was about Starbucks union success, so I wanted the cover to connect the story with the personality of the PNW.
DESIGN
Green felt like an obvious choice for both the Pacific Northwest and Starbucks, so I decided to make it the main color. For the image, I chose a photo of coffee being poured to hint at some of the tension and disagreements surrounding Starbucks. I also played around with earthy colors, fun typography, and I ended up ripping paper to give the feature layout more texuture as well as the “ruff” topic of the Starbucks Unions
