HT&E Magazine – A Global Journey Through Design

A monthly publication celebrating a unique country through curated stories, vibrant visuals, and engaging narratives.

Concept & Collaboration

For each issue of HT&E, I collaborated with a team of talented contributing writers. Together, we developed a narrative framework that celebrated the cultural richness of a featured country each month.

My role was to translate these narratives into a visual language that was both immersive and approachable. From initial brainstorming sessions to final design tweaks, the collaborative process was central to ensuring every issue resonated with our audience.

Design Process & Iteration

I began with exploring different layout options to best showcase both the editorial content and striking visuals. Iteration was key:

• - Wireframing: Developed multiple layout ideas to find a balance between text and imagery.

• - Typography & Color: Selected fonts and a color palette that enhanced readability while reflecting the mood of each country.

• - Feedback Loop: Regular reviews with our writing team ensured the design amplified their storytelling without overshadowing it.

Final Execution & Impact

The result was a magazine that not only looked compelling but also enhanced the storytelling experience. Each issue invites readers to embark on a cultural journey, making the design an integral part of the narrative.

This project underscored the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration and the power of iterative design in crafting a product that feels both authentic and engaging.
