March 22th | 2024MeloDivas Magazine
I designed a two-spread magazine complete with a compelling cover, focusing on the art of typography and layout. My vision led me to create Melodivas, a music-centered magazine celebrating the contributions of Black women in the music industry. To bring Melodivas to life, I used Pixlr to generate AI-assisted images that complement the magazine’s aesthetic. Each spread features these visuals alongside engaging typography, adding depth and personality to each page. I crafted unique artist names for these fictional musicians, allowing readers to feel as though they’re discovering fresh faces in the world of music. This project was a journey in design, storytelling, and celebrating musical diversity in an imagined way that feels real.
