Hipster Magazine [Remake]

This is one of my personal favorites; the challenge was to choose a magazine article and create a spread for the article. With the outburst in Hipster culture at the time, I chose an article that explains where the term “Hipster” came from and what it truly means to be considered a Hipster. As I read through the article, I kept imagining all the imagery it was explaining, and that is when I decided to create icons for each of those images; Converse sneakers, cardigans, cut off jeans, cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon, vintage Fedoras, reusable coffee cups, graphic tees, bicycles, and, of course, the thick rimmed glasses. I used a pastel color palette to hint at the vintage feel that Hipsters give off. I hand-lettered the title to reflect on old-fashioned script type, and contrasted that with sharp, clean type. I also wanted it to feel a little more modern, but still hipster, thus making a two column system with ejecting lines to help hierarchically, positioned a hand-lettered “Hipsters” title.
