Interview Magazine

The Interview Magazine project challenged me to serve as both art director and designer while coordinating a team across multiple cities to create a spotlight on artist Sam Bland.

My design problem involved following strict magazine standards and managing remote collaboration for a cover story with two spreads, requiring careful research and organization.

Inspired by Interview Magazine's minimalist layouts and emphasis on bold photography, I developed a solution that honored their clean aesthetic while incorporating Sam Bland's vibrant use of color and iconic imagery. I overcame the distance challenges by creating detailed sketches, conducting real-time video conferences, and trusting my team to execute my vision. Through meticulous planning and innovative remote collaboration, I delivered a cohesive final product that successfully balanced magazine standards with artistic expression.
