Graphic Designer/ Type Designer
Guided by Leslie Xia, Art Director at Mens Health, I created a feature for Matter Medium, an online magazine for millennials about current events, about the Nicaraguan political crisis. I leveraged the existing brand visuals with a custom typeface and illustration. My goal was to express the intensity of a protest in which 320 people were killed. My final layout uses imagery inspired by old propaganda but is made contemporary by layering marker textures and images. I also used drop caps, pull quotes and dividers to create visual interest.
