Project Experience: Designing a Cultural-Themed Magazine
I designed a batik-themed magazine that showcases Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage through elegant and visually appealing layouts. The project aimed to celebrate traditional art while presenting it in a modern, professional format that resonates with contemporary readers.
The creative process began with selecting authentic batik patterns that represent various regions of Indonesia. I carefully matched color palettes that reflected both warmth and sophistication, ensuring the visuals remained true to the spirit of traditional craftsmanship. The layout composition was designed to balance cultural elements with clean, modern typography, creating a seamless blend between old and new aesthetics.
This project not only challenged my ability to work with cultural themes but also deepened my appreciation for Indonesian heritage. It taught me how to translate traditional aesthetics into modern design language — crafting visuals that are both timeless and relevant. Through this experience, I strengthened my skills in editorial design, cultural branding, and visual storytelling.
