Brief
The brief for this concept editorial was to create a visually compelling editorial series without relying on traditional layout conventions.
The editorial needed to feel tactile and expressive while maintaining clarity and rhythm across multiple spreads, balancing chaos and structure in a way that supported fashion imagery rather than overwhelming it.
Approach
I approached the project by treating each spread as part of a modular editorial system rather than a standalone composition.
The layouts were built around contrast, focusing on clean negative space paired with dense collage moments, allowing the imagery to breathe while still feeling layered and intentional. Image distortion, paper textures, and rough cutouts were used to introduce tactility and tension, while restrained typography anchored the compositions and maintained legibility.
Rather than following a strict grid, I used a flexible underlying structure that allowed variation across spreads while keeping the overall pacing consistent.
Visuals
Imagery is layered, cropped, and obscured to emphasize form, texture, and silhouette. Negative space creates contrast and pacing across spreads.
Editorial System
Typography remains minimal and restrained, anchoring expressive compositions within a flexible layout structure that supports variation without losing cohesion.
Outcome
The result is a cohesive editorial concept that translates experimental visuals into a structured, repeatable system suitable for fashion and culture publications.
