A conceptual editorial design project for Preserve Magazine, a Christian fashion and lifestyle publication centered on faith, culture, and intentional living. Working within an established brand system, I contributed to the visual execution of the magazine’s first editorial release, helping translate the publication’s values into a cohesive print and digital layout experience.

As part of the inaugural issue, the focus was on setting a strong foundation for editorial flow, hierarchy, and visual consistency. The layouts balance elevated fashion imagery with thoughtful typography and structured pacing, supporting both long-form storytelling and visual impact. The result is a refined editorial system that feels modern, intentional, and aligned with Preserve Magazine’s tone across both print and digital formats.

Cover

This cover was created as an alternate visual direction for the issue, exploring a more minimal, editorial-forward approach within Preserve Magazine’s brand system. The design leans into thoughtful typography and image balance, setting a calm yet confident tone. While a different direction was ultimately selected, this concept reflects my approach to creating covers that feel elevated, timeless, and rooted in the publication’s identity.
