Nuno Francisco Sousa's modern print design for Alt + Side Magazine aligns with the publication's focus on contemporary music and emerging artists.
The cover features a captivating artist's portrait enhanced by a neon blue filter and a glitch effect. This subtle design touch creates an illusion of movement, exuding a contemporary charm and signaling the rise of new artists.
Using a plus sign as a recurring symbol throughout the magazine adds a cohesive and recognizable brand element. This icon appears on the cover and inner pages, serving as a visual anchor that unifies the print.
Lastly, the magazine's typography balances readability and personality. The body text's sans-serif fonts make the content easy to read. In contrast, cursive scripts are employed for quoted parts, adding a personal and artistic touch to the text.
