Process

During my exchange semester at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, we were tasked with creating our own magazine featuring content from published articles and our own writing. To prepare, I conducted an audit of an issue of Wired Magazine, analyzing its physical attributes, typography, layout, content organization, and mapping each page’s contents. Then, I developed type pairings and layout insights to guide the design of my publication.

Design

Sandbox is smaller in size, designed to be tossed into a bag or curled up with in bed. It’s made to be read, scribbled in, dog-eared, and loved.  Each issue closes with a gaming-themed crossword, inviting readers to leave their own mark on the pages. Sandbox Magazine carves out space in gaming media for the cozy gamers.
