Tri-State Groupie is a magazine I created in my Publication Design course. Fueled by my love of music, the magazine features local bands of the tri-state area, including Visitor’s Tongue of New Jersey, Shakeout of New York, and Ito and the Moonlight Hippies of Pennsylvania as an opportunity to bring exposure to emerging music artists. I interviewed each artist, and photographed them playing live at local venues and festivals. Additionally, I designed a venue guide for each area that highlighted local venues and arenas, pointing out those where readers could see the featured bands play. Throughout the magazine, readers will find mock-up ads for Fender, Spotify, Apple, and Launch Music Conference and Festival, where I captured some of the photographs. I created a webpage mock-up and a mobile screen mock-up, to showcase the possibility of a Tri-State Groupie website and app. Concept, design, writing, illustrations, and photography (with the exception of the ITO and the Moonlight Hippies photographs), are my own work.
