Goal

Design a digital magazine that is meant to be read on a tablet

Challenges

Research

We focused on magazines related to baking or desserts. Surveyed a range and narrowed to six competitors for competitive analysis. Compared parameters such as content and target audience to identify gaps.

I found that magazines that contain predominantly dessert recipes are mostly targeted towards experienced cooks and have fewer images.

Design

Based on the findings, I developed personas that match the gap. Created a moodboard to capture the aesthetic appeal of the magazine, and developed a design language based on that. My final design is targeted towards novice cooks interested in lavish desserts with an artistic twist.
