Coast & Country Magazine
Posted: 03-12-2009
Creating a magazine has always been an ambition of mine since I first shifted my career from being a technical illustrator into the graphic design world. I finally achieved that ambition in 2009 when the Cork & County Advertiser were looking for a freelance graphic designer to create an upmarket magazine that reflected the interests and contemporary lifestyles of those living in coastal and country areas. The concept was to start off small and distribute the magazine freely, organically building up the advertising clientele, before going national and adding a cover charge.
I wanted the magazine to have an instant “wow” factor impact and set about creating the right look and feel for such a magazine, drawing influences from established lifestyle publications whilst adding my own style, keeping it modern and simple.
