Solid State Newsletter Design

One of our Typography I projects was to create a newsletter for a specific audience. We were then supposed to design the logo, branding, an inside spread, front cover, and back cover. I chose to call my newsletter “Solid State”, playing off of not only the solid state harddrives that were becoming more afforadable at the time, but also promoting a confident “state of mind” within designers. I wanted this magazine to be an encouraging, motivational read for both amateur AND established designers who needed a little boost to their day. The bright color scheme, erratic graphic placement, and solid shapes were all a part of creating that positive, enthusiastic vibe.
