Beauzine is a 10-page 2000s teen pop or young adult magazine with aesthetics, such as Frutiger Aero, Windows Vista, and a touch of 2010s clubbing vibes.
Below are some page sketches I've made
stars, dots, curved lines, and gradients in Illustrator for the majority of these covers. The people in the covers are colored white in Photoshop to help them stand out in such a bright background.
I used this background as the default for the pages in between. I want the background to be visible, but not so much that it overshadows the text.
Printing the booklet was the final step. When looking at it in real life, you'd think of it as an actual magazine that you'd find at a kid's store. The final result was glossy and perfect, just the right amount for this booklet to be complete. Below are more mock-up examples.
