VANTA
The Art & Culture Journal of a New Era

Role: Lead Designer

Format: 16-page Print Magazine (8.5" x 11")
Tools: Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop

​

VANTA is a contemporary art and culture magazine designed to feel like a curated gallery in print. Created for creative professionals, collectors, and the culturally curious, it blends classic elegance with bold, modern aesthetics. Inspired by Vantablack—the deepest black ever made—VANTA evokes sophistication, mystery, and depth.

The custom logo, based on Impetus Heavy and refined in Illustrator, features spot varnish on matte-coated stock for contrast. Smooth matte interior pages support rich, glare-free visuals. Typography includes Futura Condensed Extra Bold for headlines, Futura Medium for subheads, and Georgia for body text and pull quotes—balancing structure with readability.

​

Accent colours subtly guide the eye, while high-resolution CMYK imagery ensures sharp, colour-accurate visuals. Each design choice supports VANTA’s mission: to spark curiosity and celebrate artistic innovation.
