Relevant Magazine

Relevant is a Nationally syndicated quarterly magazine based in Orlando, Florida. Relevant is the hub for young christians looking for the intersection faith, and culture. If you are uncomfortable with faith, or God. Relevant does not discriminate and serves all of its subscribers as equal dividing content in 40% culture, 40% music, and 20% faith.

Covers

Working with a compact team meant that every cover was a collaboration. Cover design, to deciding the cover star was a team effort. I had the pleasure of working with Leon Bridges, Johnny Swimm, Lauren Daigle Tori Kelly, Jerry Lorenzo, and Hillsong United.

Currents

Currents is Relevant’s take on current events. The process takes 30 pieces of unique information and I take those articles turn them into complex designs that are easily digestible for the readers.

Cover Stories

Cover stories are the focal point of the magazine. I had the oppurtunity to be apart of the process on every magazine I worked with. Working on stories about fashion designers, musicians, and thought leaders was exciting and each took a different skill set. I am happy with the final products.

Shopping Features

One of favorite things to do is to take something so boring like a shopping feature, and turn it into something cool. I was incharge of all shopping features. Each feature was about 8-12 pages, so it was always a challenge to fill the pages with something interesting. I will say though I got married in the middle of doing all of this, and my wedding registry looked a lot like these features.

Selects

Selects is like a physical Apply Music “For You” page. Taking the best music to come out in a three month period and putting them today to make sure our readers were staying up to date on music.

Internal Ads

Relevant being more than just a magazine we had a lot of products to market in each magazine. We would run 4 internal ads every magazine, and they focused around subscriptions, podcasts, merchandise, and other softgoods. I had the pleasure of styling, shooting, designing, and editing every internal ad in the magazine.
