One of the things I enjoy most about editorial design is finding flexibility within an existing visual identity.

For these two June culture features for Absolutely Magazine, I worked with the publication’s established typography system while pushing it in different directions through scale, tracking, spacing and pacing.

Although both layouts use the same core typefaces, each story required a completely different atmosphere.

For “Other Worlds Are Possible”, the goal was to create something cinematic and expansive — using fragmented typography, negative space and rhythm to echo the speculative, futuristic tone of the exhibition.

For “Chaos & Harmony”, I leaned into movement and tension, allowing the typography to feel more expressive and performative in response to the subject of contemporary dance.

I’m always interested in how subtle typographic decisions can completely shift the emotional tone of a story while still remaining faithful to a publication’s visual language.

😍 This project involved four consulting sessions where, together with a team, we restructured the visual content strategy to better align with the brand’s identity.

The work focused on redefining how content is presented across digital platforms, including social media prototypes, typography systems, visual textures, photography direction, CTAs and overall content style.

We developed a cohesive approach that ensured consistency between visual design and messaging, improving clarity and engagement.

The magazine is part of the research division of Universidad Simón Bolívar in Barranquilla, Colombia.
