Background
.
I had the opportunity to collaborate on an editorial concept (directed by Sara Falarz, shot by Stephanie Brajkovich) featuring Shannon Burns, celebrity interviewer and Virgin Radio midday host. The up-and-coming star reporter's recent win of the Allan Waters Young Broadcaster award at the Canadian Music Awards has taken Burn's career to the mainstream, and the team wanted to create a unique shoot to celebrate the proudly Toronto-local.
I worked with Falarz and Brajkovich on concepting for the editorial style work, developing a logo in Shannon Burn's name as a centre point for the piece, leaning into more traditional fashion magazine motifs. I worked on layout, created a few logos and wordmarks (not all pictured), did typeface selection, and created multiple social content pieces for the agency's channels.
I wanted to ensure the photography, styling and direction remained the focus of the work, with design as a quiet supporter; minimal text, editing of photography to give a film feeling, and layout design that flows from one post to the next, drawing the eye to each shot.
