Scope
For the Finnish organization Mustarinda, I designed the pocket magazine Kirjeenvaihto / Corresponding in 2024; a publication featuring essays and research contributions.
Using their existing visual identity as a foundation, I explored how the magazine could take on more of the character of a field notebook. Since the publication includes both Finnish and English texts, each language was given its own color coding.
In addition, I introduced tabs in the page titles to simplify navigation throughout the magazine.
Scope of work
– Desktop publishing (DTP) layout
– Translation and adaptation of brand identity
– Structuring long-form texts, hierarchy and navigation
– Image editing and retouching
Spreads from the magazine with a focus on reading structure, color coding of languages, and typographic consistency.
Detail of text structure, typographic hierarchy, and use of the tab function.
