Spokane CDA Living Magazine
A local Magazine highlighting events, activities, and history in the Pacific Northwest. In publication since 1999 supported primarily with ad placements and is available to people via new stands at local businesses.
The Brief
With a large dip in readers, Spokane CDA Living came to us with the goal to gain more readers with a new look and updated identity.
Design
With a focus of creating clean strong layouts I utilized a a 12-column grid structure. Worked to modernize the magazine identity by reducing/ updating the fonts used, decreasing visual clutter, and diversifying the compositions and layouts seen in issues past.
Final
This publication was a great learning experience. Playing around with ways titles and text can interact with images was a huge learning opportunity. Also working within a final page count required a ton of creative solutions to stay within that limit.
