As someone who enjoys music made by Coldplay, sustainable practices, and innovative technological advances, I had to give this topic a cover, and two spreads in my magazine of choice for this project.

I worked to give that ‘Coldplay flavor’ while exploring large condensed display typography, gradients, and atmospheric layout to visually match the innovative aspects of their tour, without the cliche ‘going green’ aesthetic. I utilized their circle, rainbow, and spacey motifs that appear on many of the album covers, and because they are helping make our globe a better place. They are one of the front runners in the music industry because they are implementing sustainable practices, hence the more futuristic and fresh look.

The music gives my family and I nostalgia because we have listened for over 21 years. They enjoyed this project and noticed the intention behind my design decisions as fans. Professor and peer feedback was incredibly positive.
