Development of the design for a premium printed magazine (catalog)
I am looking for a designer with an excellent sense of style and experience in creating premium printed products.
It is necessary to develop the concept and design of a large-format printed magazine (approximately 280×380 mm), which will be used during personal meetings with manufacturers, investors, and dealers.
This is not an advertising catalog for mass sales. Its main task is to create a strong first impression, emphasize the seriousness of the project, and the high level of the brand.
Main requirements
modern premium style;
minimalism;
large photographs almost covering the entire spread;
lots of "air" and free space;
flawless typography;
expensive and restrained design;
the feeling of an exclusive brand.
Inspiration
I would like the designer to focus not on ordinary furniture catalogs, but on the level of design of leading global magazines about architecture, design, interiors, and luxury items.
Examples of publications that can be used:
Architectural Digest (AD)
Wallpaper*
Monocle
Frame Magazine
ELLE Decoration
Disegno
Interni
Surface Magazine
The World of Interiors
I like their style: restrained, expensive, modern, with a strong emphasis on photography, composition, materials, and atmosphere.
What needs to be done
develop the overall concept of the magazine;
create the cover design;
design several internal spreads;
select fonts;
develop a unified style for headings, texts, and composition;
prepare a template that can be easily filled with new materials in the future.
I will provide all photographs and text materials.
When responding to the project
Please show examples of your work in a premium style: magazines, catalogs, luxury brands, architecture, interiors, cars, yachts, watches, jewelry, or other projects with a similar aesthetic.
It is important for me to find a designer who can create not just a beautiful layout, but a magazine that will make an impression of an expensive European or American premium publication.
