One set is 2-color process, and the other is 4-color process. The 2-color booklet is 8" h x 7" w and the 4-color booklet measures 8.5" h x 7" w.

HomePower

Print Design // 2010

HomePower magazine is a publication focused on revealing information on how to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. I felt the design of their publication did not align with their goals. When redesigning two article spreads, the table of contents, and the title, I focused on creating a clean, aerodynamic, and cohesive compilation.
