design MAGAZINE:
inflytande...
Graphic design & communication | 2016-2017
STATEMENT: Create a design magazine about some of my design influencers. Design the layout of the pages and draw the cover using watercolors.
​
In my case, I decide to represent on the cover the design evolution of chairs, by drawing some of the most known and famous examplaries.
The magazine is called Inflytande, which in Swedish meains 'influence'. Along all the magazine, I use the same 3 colors to mantain the harmony and homogeneity: yellow, cian and magenta, which are the 3 primary colors.
The designers choosen for the magazine are the following:
-
ALVAR AALTO
-
EERNO AARNIO
-
JONATHAN IVE
-
MARC NEWSON

PHILIPPE STARCK
