Magazine Design Brief
Title: Mythos
Category: Editorial Design / Print & Digital

Target Audience: Writers, aspiring authors, and passionate readers of fantasy fiction—particularly those drawn to world-building,folklore, myth-inspired storytelling, and speculative writing communities.

Background: Fantasy fiction continues to thrive across books, film, games, and fan communities, yet few literary magazines cater specifically to the creative and editorial interests of fantasy authors and readers. This project aimed to explore the visual identity of a publication that celebrates fantasy storytelling while providing a platform for interviews,writing prompts, and craft advice.

Design Problem: Despite the rich depth and popularity of the fantasy genre, there are few visually engaging editorial platforms that celebrate both the craft of writing and the imaginative spirit of fantasy literature. Existing publications tend to be text-heavy or genre-unspecific, lacking the immersive quality that fantasy readers and writers crave. The challenge was to create a publication that feels both editorially professional and emotionally connected to the world-building, mysticism, and creative passion that define the genre. The magazine needed to balance structured design with a whimsical, narrative-driven aesthetic to truly resonate with its audience.
