Nostalgia
Publication: University Girl Magazine
Role: Design Director
Scope: Creative Direction, Team Management, Editorial Layout, Photoshoot Art Direction, Final File Assembly
Software: Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop
The Nostalgia Edition explores the intersection of memory, reflection, and growth, examining how past eras (from 90s/Y2K fashion to childhood photo albums) shape our adult identities. The issue is split into three main sections: Remembrance (honoring the past), Resurgence (living in the present), and Resilience (embracing the future).
As Design Director, I established a visual system that paid homage to vintage magazine layouts while keeping the aesthetic sharp and contemporary. I guided our design team in translating retro design codes into polished editorial spreads, personally designed key opening features, and executed final master pre-press production.
