MAGAZINES
The ‘number cruncher’ from Private Equity International's May 2023 issue features a dynamic page spread that uses infographics to present complex data in a visually compelling and engaging manner. Recognising the importance of data-driven storytelling, this double-page spread was designed not only to convey information accurately but also to engage the consumer in the data being presented. The full issue can be found here.
The map spread featured in Private Debt Investor’s April 2023 issue effectively presents data through the use of a map infographic. This spread allows readers to visually explore and comprehend complex information related to the topic. Within the same issue, the cover story uses abstract imagery to break up text and introduce engaging elements to the spreads.
This page spread was meticulously designed for the Women of Influence issue of the Venture Capital Journal magazine, specifically for the inbound article. The concept behind this design was to utilise abstract shapes and distinct colour palettes to create visual prominence, establish a clear hierarchy, and facilitate differentiation between each of the magazine's features that highlight the impactful Women of Influence. Through the strategic implementation of abstract shapes and individual colour palettes, the aim was to capture the attention of readers and create a visually captivating experience. By employing this visual strategy, we sought to honour and celebrate the remarkable achievements of these influential women while ensuring a cohesive and engaging layout for the magazine's inbound pages.

The September issue of Buyouts features a captivating cover image that centres around abstract and whimsical food imagery, artfully chosen to mirror the cover story's utilisation of food-related metaphors throughout its articles. By employing this creative approach, the cover image aims to visually represent the underlying themes and concepts explored within the issue. The abstract and playful nature of the food imagery not only catches the eye but also evokes a sense of intrigue and curiosity, enticing readers to delve into the magazine's content. Through this deliberate visual choice, the cover image establishes a strong visual connection to the cover story's use of food metaphors, providing a cohesive and engaging experience that captivates readers and sets the tone for the insightful articles within.

The December 2024/January 2025 issue of Buyouts features data pages with a unique chart style that deviates from the usual presentation found in previous issues. This fresh approach introduces more dynamic, visually engaging charts designed to enhance clarity and better highlight key trends. By experimenting with different styles, the issue aims to provide readers with a more interactive and intuitive way to interpret complex data, offering a modern take on traditional financial reporting.

These visual snapshots offer a condensed view of the larger content, highlighting essential information in an engaging, easy-to-digest format. The design of each presentation draws inspiration from the magazine's cover art, maintaining a cohesive visual identity while adapting the print content for a more interactive and dynamic digital experience. This approach allows the audience to quickly grasp important insights while staying connected to the magazine’s overall aesthetic.
