Publication: Groove Guide Street Press

As the designer of Groove Guide, a 32 page streetpress magazine; myself, the Editor and the Advertising Manager were solely responsible for delivering full creative concept through to printing of this title every week.

I created unique designs for 25 issues of this music and culture street press magazine. Every issue was designed differently to reflect the cover artist of that weeks issue. 16,000 copies were delivered every Wednesday to venues, cafes, bars and shops in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin.

Many of the featured artists were new bands, and the images supplied to me were often small or lacked impact. I dedicated a lot of time to editing the images to create a uniform look throughout the magazine, hide poor quality imagery and create a more appealing look. This limitation combine with a short turn around time forced me to learn how to work very efficiently, methodically and make good design decisions quickly.
