An important part of being a graphic designer is being flexible enough to design for a number of different medias, magazine articles are one example of this. Designing a feature for a magazine gave me so much experience because while there was a specific topic for the piece, I still had the space to be creative and explore many different directions of design.

The illustrations for this feature were first created in Procreate and then edited in Adobe Photoshop. After they were complete, I put them in Adobe InDesign with the article. I wanted to keep the feature informational and easy to understand while still keeping it interesting and creative.

The research for this article and art came from a variety of articles about the history of udon and the recipes for different kinds. I also spent time trying different udon and photographing different kinds for inspiration.
