About
This project I was tasked with designing a four page spread detailing the highlights of an international city while creating corresponding designs that relates to a written article.

Ideation

New York is bold, bustling, and urban. I pushed for a "collage" look that related to a typical New York lifestyle. I took ideas from New York's iconic architecture such as the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge to add as focal points within my design. Knowing that I was going to have an eclectic design, I implemented a grid to physically have balance, alignment, and asymmetry.  

Final Spreads

Final Thoughts

A few final adjustments were added to the first page to make it balanced, whereas the second spread gives more space for the full article and adds graphic touches to share fun facts and the famous NYC metro. The color-coded subway lines help with adding visual dimension while adding signature New York elements. Sticking with the color scheme, there are hints of green and copper to not back to the Statue of Liberty and unify the spreads. This was an exciting project to challenge myself to cater a design to a fascinating city.
