SEMITONE

Standout Features:

• Eclectic mix of typography
• Captivating visual movement

Ashleigh Standen’s magazine design for SEMITONE illustrates the immersive experience of sound. The front page spotlights an ethereal image of a woman in rhythmic motion – her movements blurred into a large, impactful visual. A bold, white typeface with a resonant message accentuates this scene.

Inside, a gallery of full-screen images portrays artists in moments of raw, powerful expression. These photographs allow the subjects' emotions and energy to convey the story, offering a visual narrative as compelling as the music they accompany.

This style creates a deeply engaging experience as it invites viewers into the world of each artist. The simple and artistic fonts contrast with the vivid imagery, adding depth and character to the pages. Consequently, they remain predominantly uncluttered to let the visuals shine.
