Nuance

Description

Magazine Concept

 

 

“Nuance” is defined as a subtle difference or distinction in expression, response or meaning. The word’s meaning gave a deeper reasoning to the magazine’s contents. Though art may look different, when comparing one or more pieces, an artist seeks to communicate with the viewer in their own way – there are just subtle differences in how they chose to execute their message. When coming up with the type of magazine I would create, my inspiration came from Charleston’s ART MAG and other smaller publications.

Nuance Magazine General Aesthetic

The magazine’s layouts used the featured artwork as a tool to create structured and organized spreads with a twists. The featured pieces are from Robert Lange Studios, an amazing gallery located in downtown Charleston, SC. The cover’s painting is done by Robert Lange and the pattern within the contents page was built from a pattern done by Karen Ann Meyers, with the highlighted artist’s page also devoted to her work.

“A Gorilla Preceded the Illusion”

I used the geometric backdrop Lange created as a cover image that could easily be matched with edgy but somewhat sophisticated typography.

Karen’s Patterns

Karen Ann Meyers has always been one of my favorite residents of Robert Lange Studios — Realism at its finest. Most of her work also contains some sort of bold pattern in the composition, either giving the piece depth or a pop of color in the forefront. Taking one of her patterns, I worked it into creating a different approach to a contents page. I duplicated her pattern and changed the opacity and other defining lines in Illustrator to give a sense of structure to the “list” of pages.

Gravitating Back Towards the Norm…

To exhibit a more classic style, I created a spread that started a new section within the magazine. In its organization, I found myself thinking that this layout would be more accepted by readers.
