Project Title:
Global Vegan Magazine for PLANTED Expo 2021 in Vancouver
Client: Global Vegan Magazine / Project Date: Fall 2021
Project Overview
To significantly enhance the PLANTED Expo 2021 experience in Vancouver, I undertook the design of a multi-page magazine layout for the event's special program. This publication was meticulously crafted to inform and inspire attendees with the latest trends, groundbreaking products, and insightful perspectives within the vibrant vegan and plant-based community.
The Challenge
Operating under a stringent one-month deadline, the project demanded exceptionally efficient coordination with a diverse group of writers, vendors, and contributors to ensure all content was delivered precisely on time. Beyond logistics, the design itself needed to be highly visually appealing, genuinely informative, and seamlessly adaptable for both print and digital formats.
The Solution
To address these challenges effectively, I developed a clean and modern magazine layout that skillfully showcased the diverse content, which included engaging articles, delicious recipes, and insightful vendor spotlights. My design incorporated striking visuals, such as bold typography and eye-catching imagery, creating a truly immersive and visually engaging reading experience. By strategically utilizing a modular design approach, I was able to efficiently accommodate various content lengths and formats, ensuring unparalleled flexibility and adaptability across the publication.
The Impact
The completed magazine significantly enhanced the overall attendee experience at the PLANTED Expo 2021 event. Its visually appealing design and rich, informative content deeply resonated with attendees, playing a crucial role in solidifying the event's position as a premier platform for plant-based innovation and community engagement.
