Magnolia Magazine was a glossy lifestyle magazine in Jackson Mississippi. Of all the lifestyle magazines I’ve had the pleasure of designing, Magnolia was by far the most satisfying. This was in large part due to a trusting working relationship with the magazine editor. This allowed us both to focus on what we could do to improve the magazine within our disciplines. This particular issue received special attention given the popularity of its content. Photos, copy, design and visual elements received an additional coat of polish which resulted in a refined look and feel to the spread. Excellent photography is a powerful tool. When you have it, design should amplify the images, not distract.
