Editorial design

Unwrap focuses on the quirks, design and production of packaging ephemera, with features such as My Collection, News, and How to. The magazine enabled me to build a ‘kit of parts’ that could be used to develop several issues worth of magazine content. The main aim that I took away from this project was refining my image-editing skills and using photography to tell stories – particularly with the article on lemonade labels.

Packaging has always been an exceptionally important part of graphic design for me, and I maintain a large collection of fast-food packaging.

The ‘Lemonade Labels’ article really demonstrated my ability to consider the non-obvious solution: that of placing the title of the piece underneath a retro lemonade label.
