Bring the experience on a zine.

This issue hopes to showcase the various panels, events, and people who are present at this convention. The main theme surrounds around manga frames, portraying a lot of photography.

Approach
The request will require intertwining manga/japanese motifs, allowing space for photography to take a big space in this issue, while connecting the copy cohesively.

Concepting

Manga Frames

We want to take an approach to include manga frames and iconography within the issue as a way to portray imagery while keeping the editorial style.

Scrapbook Styles

With inspiration from japanese styles, also keeping inspiration of japanese magazines and how they layout text and images in a scrapbook style.

Huge Imagery

While incorporating all these motifs, finding a way to unify and incorporate multiple photographs in one.

Key Takeaways

Creating this look has helped me understand the importance of the ground to work up from, especially when other designers were assigned to help out.
