Architectural Magazine Spread

The overall design of the magazine layout is aimed at reflecting my "take" on the renowned architect (Tadao Ando). Considerations included mood, energy, meaning, structure, color and history. I wanted to reflect a renewed and contemplative mood. Ando is known for using concrete as his primary construct, thus the reason I layered the texture of the concrete wall as the background. A light olive-like green was selected to express the architect's concern with incorporating his structures within nature. White space was used to invoke the minimalist approach Ando uses for his open spaces, which he often integrates with natural light, wind, and even water. The R&C font created by a French Typographer, Jean Boyault, was a great enhancement to the overall architectural theme.
