Frame Magazine
-
While film and art magazines often focus on reviews, celebrity interviews, or current trends, few offer a deeply curated, time-specific, and context-rich exploration of cinema. For students, artists, and cinephiles who view film as more than entertainment, there’s a gap in publications that treat cinema as a historical, emotional, and cultural artifact.
How might we create a magazine that slows down the pace, zooms into selected works, and frames them with the depth and reverence they deserve?
-
Frame is a quarterly arts magazine that presents readers with a detailed view of key cinematic works within carefully selected parameters of time, geography, and genre.
-
Frame is for film lovers of all kinds—from creatives and students to curious weekend readers. Whether they're after inspiration or a deeper look into how great films are made, these readers want more than just reviews—they want context, stories, and meaning.

Solution
I developed a modern, cohesive design for Frame magazine by blending bold contrasts with soft, inviting tones. The black-and-white foundation is accented with pops of pink and blue, while carefully selected film stills bring the content to life. The minimalist style, paired with expressive typography, creates a smooth, engaging experience, letting the imagery take center stage and pulling readers into the cinematic essence of the magazine.

Inspiration came from black and white films, vintage movie posters, and typography across different eras.
I explored classic grid systems but also experimented with breaking them—mirroring the tension between structure and expression that defines great cinema.
