Forefront Magazine - Editorial
BA Graphic Design first year student project. We were asked to design a cover page and a double spread article based on a recognized graphic design professional of our own choice. At the moment I had gotten really inspired by Vince Frost's work and decided to focus on him.
At the beginning we had to do our own research and collect material that would inspire us. We were asked to present mood-boards with things that caught our attention and we planned to use later for our own work on the spreads and cover.

Then we proceeded into the roughs for each page. Our professors wanted us to learn first the old fashion way therefore we were shown how to create our own grid and mock-ups by hand.

The cover's draft drawn on trace paper on top of the handmade grid
Draft of the article's first spread drawn on trace paper on top of the handmade grid

Finally, after deciding how we want the final version to look like we designed everything using Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
