Beauty Catalog Design

Overview

This project was to design a magazine page cover and spread, after photographing products in a light tent and also creating top down photography shots.

Design Process

Photography

The beginning of the process was gathering the products and setting up the light tent to photograph the products with a white background. This gave clean, solid, bright lighting on the products with a pure background to easily mask them out in Photoshop.

I also needed to take some top down photographs for content in the magazine layout. I tried multiple ideas with ways to display the products in an intriguing manner.

Page Design

When designing the magazine spread, I wanted to focus on bright, vivid colors that complimented the products. I used typography to enhance the design by adding an opaque phrase behind a product and also using a mix of typefaces to focus on the Rainforest of the Sea Collection. When designing, I incorporated the makeup in a spill of foundation shades, but with the blue background it can also be seen as sand and the ocean for the Sea Collection.
