SHIFT Magazine

This was a publication from Tanya Test in order to highlight the 2009 TED Wish Prize Winner Jehane Noujaim. In this design, Test tried to advocate travel and international relations to build "cultural understanding, tolerance, open minds, and unity as people."

I think this publication is very well-designed in terms of layout of visual elements as well as color choices. I especially enjoy the cover design. She replaced the "I" with a diagonal line which very much created the feeling of "shift."Also, the woman in the photograph with the newspaper cover her face created a balance as well as unity with the design. The  yellow color stands out from the gray and white background which gives the design moderate contrast. I feel very comfortable to look at it. In addition, the foreign characters used blend into the overall design as well.
