This brief was open to me creating and developing a design direction that would be for a series of photography magazine covers. I made decisions on the name, design and logo based on research into existing magazines and others publication covers. I chose the name ‘Roll’, with reference to a film roll and also felt it was appropriate as a name of a photography magazine. I
wanted to create an impactful cover, with a concept that was strong and held an identity that could be carried successfully across twelve covers. The brief was driven through my interest and desire to combine and layer photography and type.

The concept was to have the logo working alongside the photograph featured on the cover. The idea of the ‘o’ in Roll acting as a camera lens, focusing on something within the image, whether it was obvious or simply highlighting it further. I also spot varnished the circle shape within the ‘o’, to increase this observation, and add a finish to the cover, hightening its quality and interest.
I designed a promotional poster to draw awareness to the magazine. I chose the specific photograph used for the poster, because of its relevance to the photograph overall. The ‘o’ in ‘Roll’, is increasing the awareness of the photographer featured in the reflection in the man’s sunglasses. The image seemed very appropriate. The poster’s size can be adjusted according to what
context it is in, however it fits all A format sized paper. The example above would be a standard A0 format on a matt stock.

www.rollmagazine.co.uk - The website slowly builds more and more photographs and data as the year goes on, viewers can choose to either view selected photographs from that months (or months prior) issue, subscribe or order the issue online. I wanted to incorporate the photographs in their circle form on the website. The logo and selected type on the website changes
colour according to what that month’s colour is that is featured on the magazine.

If a customer was to order their magazine, it would come packaged, with a free, unique fold out poster. The package is made from stone coloured card, and contains a simple design on the front, so not to distract from the content inside and be versatile enough to hold any issue of the magazine. The magazine itself is wrapped in tissue paper that is the colour of the logo
for that particular issue. There is also a separate compartment for the fold out poster to be held safely in.

Inside the package is a unique, specialised sqaure - format poster as well as the magazine wrapped in coloured tissue paper. The poster originates from the photography featured on the cover, and has the logo positioned on it, either in relation to the cover, or somewhere that is suitable. The posters
are only available if you order the magazine online as they come within the package and don’t fold out of the magazine itself.
