The Brief
Design of a collection of 3 editorial monographs, dedicated to one theme, focusing on the realization and development of one of them with a closed index in advance (consisting of cover, index page, news page and two long articles).
The Concept
Up North is a quarterly lifestyle magazine of unhurried time, celebrating creativity, imperfection and the little pleasures in life. Naming – Up North – is inspired in hygge (Danish concept of creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people).
Visual identity is made as playful minimalism. Compass illustration was added as an extra graphical element to give emphasis on concept – the guide to find happiness.
Coptic stitch is used as a binding method to highlight the feeling of slow living and give a touch of handmade magic.
Each issue has a different color tread, matching the color of the cover title.
