Volume XIX, Platform Magazine

Volume XIX explores a contrast to typical spring fashion imagery, using deep colors and fuzzy, dreamlike photography to blur the line between memory and reality. I co-directed the visual identity across all 88 pages, working with a team of five designers on layout systems, art direction, and cover design.

We designed Volume XIX to contrast the typical spring fashion imagery, using deep colors and fuzzy imagery to morph memory and reality. XIX contrasts the rigid, grid-like layout of Volume XVIII with feelings of dreams and hazy memories.

We designed the cover shoot, "Fading Fuchsia," to create a provocative, mysterious scene, contrasting deep fuchsia with black and white and full color.

I took film photos on set of the cover shoot, adding a BTS, raw lens to the digital photos taken by Lizzy Novelli.
