Camel Literary Magazine
Overview
Camel is an illustrated journal of narrative featuring short stories from a diverse range of authors.
For this project, I combined multiple roles by creating a unique piece of artwork for each story, designing the magazine layout, and overseeing prepress and print production.
Role
Designer and illustrator, editorial layout, art direction, prepress and print production
Deliverables
Editorial design for full issue
Custom illustration series
Print production and final output
Key design decisions
-
Each narrative received its own illustration, giving the issue variety while maintaining a cohesive overall tone.
-
Typography, hierarchy, and layout rhythm were designed to support readability and keep the experience engaging from story to story.
-
Artwork was created with placement, pacing, and page flow in mind so it feels embedded in the reading experience, not added on afterward.
-
The magazine was executed with close attention to prepress details and production quality so the final printed piece matches the intent of the design.
Outcome
A visually rich and cohesive publication that combines original illustration, thoughtful editorial design, and meticulous print production to create an engaging reading experience across a diverse collection of stories.
