HYPE Magazine is a biannual infotainment and lifestyle magazine for youths, by youths. I came in as the editor for HYPE in March 2019 and immediately set to clean up the design and publish issue #48 before I worked on my issue #49. Based on the stories written by the student reporters, I curated them to reflect the theme of MAJULAH. I also added features to create a more holistic magazine reading experience and reignited the magazine's social media to connect with our target audience.
I had a small team working on the design and a new editorial colleague in the last 2 months. The rest of the work is all my own. I will expound on each area I worked on below:
Those who choose to pick up a physical copy don't just want to read, but want to enjoy the relaxing, tactile experience. Hence, I created a Spotify playlist to enrich this experience. Listen to it here:
