Filmópolis
/// Overview
A printed film magazine I designed for an editorial design course at UPB. I drew the masthead, built the styles and laid out the whole issue, and I made its key images: the painted cover, the story illustrations, a double-page infographic and a 3D city for the contents page.
/// The Challenge
The course asked for a 20-page film magazine with its own masthead, a style manual, three infographics and at least four illustrations, plus a photographic cover with the student on it. Manuela Gómez and I shared the title and the theme; each of us designed our own issue on the same rules.
/// The System
Every story gets one accent, taken from its film: green for Sound of Metal, yellow for Everything Everywhere All at Once, red for The Shining. The color lives in the headline, the section tab and the details, and the rest of the page stays black and white. Mongoose carries the headlines, Runda the reading text and Staff Wide the sections, all on an 11-column grid.
/// The Process
I tested the body text in Tasman, Gill Sans and Muli before settling on Runda, and brought print proofs to every class review. The illustrations went from line drawings and value studies to full color, the Avatar infographic started as a pencil draft, and the contents page is a city I modeled and lit in Cinema 4D, with the films composited as holograms in post.
