SCOUT 37

For the 37th issue of  SCOUT Magazine’s print edition I was the lead designer overseeing the entirety of the layout and working with contributing photographers, illustrators, and stylists—both food and clothing—for the visuals of the articles.

This involved not only communicating with these contributors to ensure their work was elevated by the work I did, but also in developing the pitch decks that were sent to the talent and brand teams who agreed to lend their likenesses and product to the issue.  From there I worked to unify the text and images into a singular visual style which respected the work of the contributors, honored the vision of SCOUT, and communicated my own artistic vision for what a magazine can do visually.
