Magazine Layout

This magazine layout recreation was created as part of a graphic design class at San Francisco State University. The assignment was to adapt an existing magazines stylesheet and layout to a new article with original illustrations. The magazine I selected to emulate was the New Yorker due to their classic approach to layout combined with modern graphics. I manually copied the stylesheet with a type ruler and researched the specific colors and typefaces. After I imported an article I had found on cartography and how our modern maps are shaped by ever-changing political boundaries. The illustrations were done with watercolor, scanned, and edited in Photoshop and Illustrator.
