IOU Magazine




I replied to a mass email sent last summer by a then MA student asking for LCC Typo to help her out with her final piece- a fashion magazine with a financial theme running through it. Myself and another student replied and IOU Magazine was born some six months later (you could call that a premature birth then I guess!).
Here is the cover with the IOU logo which I designed and some of my selected spreads. We used Futura Upper case for all the headings, ITC Cheltenham for introductory text and Perpetua for body text as they seemed to marry well together and gave impact yet grace. They hinted at fashion and financial matters equally. The grid we used was seven columns in width.
