Glamourama is a self-designed editorial magazine project exploring girlhood, pop culture, fashion, and digital aesthetics through photography, layout design, and visual storytelling. The project was inspired by early 2000s magazine culture, blending playful editorial design with contemporary internet-inspired visuals to create a stylized and immersive publication concept.

Role: Editorial Designer + Creative Director
Tools: Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, typography, editorial layout design, photography, and branding design

Design Direction

The design direction focused on creating a bold and energetic editorial aesthetic inspired by Y2K magazine culture, celebrity tabloids, fashion editorials, and pop media. Bright colors, layered imagery, playful typography, and collage-inspired compositions helped create a visually chaotic yet cohesive identity. The goal was to make the magazine feel expressive, nostalgic, and personality-driven while still maintaining readable and engaging layouts.

Process

Throughout the project, I developed cover concepts, editorial spreads, branding elements, and promotional mockups for the magazine. The process involved experimenting with typography, image placement, visual hierarchy, and layered compositions to capture the feeling of a stylized fashion and culture publication. I focused on balancing visual chaos with structure to create layouts that felt dynamic while remaining functional and organized.
