The Spot Magazine is a travel publication for young, independent adventurers seeking authentic cultural experiences. For this project, I designed a 4-page spread showcasing the vibrant essence of Colombia, inviting readers to explore its rich tapestry of life.
Drawing inspiration from the colorful art found on Colombia’s public transportation, street signs, and walls, I crafted a visual narrative infused with the “kitsch” aesthetic iconic to Latin America. Influenced by the magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez, the design blends raw realities with cultural nuance, creating a collage-style layout that captures the country’s political, social, artistic, and cultural vibrancy.
Despite the bold and dynamic visuals, the clean layout and carefully chosen typeface ensure readability and guide readers seamlessly through the content.
