you can also take a little peek on issuu:
a former colleague of mine published the first issue of his own cruise ship magazine called "crucero", which is "cruise" in spanish.
i am on board - literally - as well as a few other ex-colleagues from the city magazine we used to work at, which i think is a really lovely thing, getting the old gang together again. i am working on the next issue as i write this post, so fingers crossed this will work out for everyone!
it was really tricky to make it so that all the text that needed to be on it fit, and that it was legible! one of my favourite details are the flowers, which are actually highlighted by an extra shiny printed layer.
i also did an infographic on a ship's scrubber system, which filters the gas emissions. i got a little pencil sketch to work with, and after hours of reacquainting myself with illustrator, i managed to make some sense of it all! live and learn ...
here's a little bonus for you, if you have scrolled all the way down: this is one of my first ideas for the cover, which i really loved. it was abandoned because the powers that be decided the ship wasn't recognizable enough for the first issue. as you can see, i kept the jungle foliage frame!
