OVERVIEW
I set out to design a magazine spread celebrating the evolution of vintage cars, focusing on elevating typography and layout. Using a structured three-grid system, I created a balanced composition that blends bold headlines, elegant serifs, and nostalgic imagery for an authentic editorial feel.

THE CHALLENGE
I needed to merge vintage charm with contemporary design, ensuring the layout was visually engaging while maintaining clarity and organization. Balancing bold typography, intricate details, and cohesive color schemes within a consistent grid posed the key creative challenge for this project.

THE SOLUTION
I curated a moodboard inspired by vintage magazines, then built minimalist layouts using Abril Fatface and EB Garamond for strong yet elegant typography. A soft beige background with a damask texture and sepia-toned images completed a nostalgic yet fresh look true to the theme.
