The Winter 2017 Issue of Voice includes articles on color, woodcut type, and Swiss designer Armin Hofmann.

For this design, I chose to take a risk and try using slanted columns in the magazine's layout. Both standard vertical columns and slanted columns are used to mimic the diagonal lines seen in Voice Magazine's logo.
I opted for a simplified color palette, using only white, black, and reds throughout each spread.

Halftone patterns are used on images to provide a stylistic twist and reinforce cohesion throughout the entire magazine. Additionally, this pays homage to the article on woodcut type to add texture to the images.
