Cover and article spreads for Ascenders magazine

Ascenders Magazine Feature Spreads

Objective:

Design a four-page feature well containing one photo-based opening spread and one spread with the article copy.

These spreads focus on the artificial aspect of AI. The opening spread features a visual metaphor: a metallic hand removing “ART” from “ARTIFICIAL,” representing AI's use of art without the artist's consent.

The second spread utilizes three columns for readability and allows impactful pull quotes to span multiple columns for added impact.

This sans serif typeface ensures easy readability of the body copy, and in bold, it works to highlight key points. The bright, artificial colours unify the spreads, with the bright green being used for utmost emphasis and the pink accenting the subheadings in a more subtle way.
