ACDC

Magazine

For this typography project, the goal was to create a magazine publication consisting of a wordmark, a cover, a table of contents, and two articles. I chose to create a magazine called “ACDC,” which showcases queer musical talent in the indie rock scene.


Statement

ACDC is an enthusiastic showcase of queer musical talent that breaks boundaries in the bold world of indie rock.


Words I did and didn’t want the publication to reflect:


Electric
Loud
Spirited
Diverse
Free
Fluid
Authentic
Intersectional
Bold
Divergent
DIY
Passionate


Quiet
Fancy
Perfect
Dull
Conforming
Undaring
Commercial
Traditional
Small
Rigid

Wordmark

Goal

To reflect the rhythm that indie rock music has, while also making the wordmark capture the idea of how queer indie artists break backgrounds.
